1. What is Koimaro Tea?

   • Koimaro Tea is a premium Japanese green tea blend that combines the luxurious umami richness of Gyokuro with the vibrant freshness of Deep-Steamed Sencha (Fukamushi Sencha). This unique blend offers a balanced, full-bodied flavor profile, celebrated for its depth and complexity.

2. Award-Winning Excellence:

3. A Blend of Gyokuro and Deep-Steamed Sencha:

   • Gyokuro: Known as the “dew of jewels,” Gyokuro is a shaded tea with a high concentration of L-theanine, giving it a sweet, umami-rich flavor.
   • Deep-Steamed Sencha: Fukamushi Sencha is steamed longer than regular Sencha, resulting in a tea with a mellow flavor, vibrant green color, and smooth texture.

4. Flavor Profile:

   • Koimaro Tea delivers a perfect harmony of umami, sweetness, and mild astringency with a refreshing finish. The deep steaming process also enhances its aroma and creates a slightly cloudy yet beautifully vibrant green liquor.

5. Health Benefits:

   • Rich in antioxidants (catechins), L-theanine, and vitamins, this tea supports relaxation, boosts immunity, and promotes mental clarity. The blend of Gyokuro and Sencha enhances both flavor and nutritional content.
