Harvested in the height of summer, this organic oolong is crafted from the rare Takachihō cultivar, nurtured in the fertile, sun-kissed fields of Miyazaki Prefecture. With only a small fraction of Japan’s tea dedicated to oolong production, this specialty represents a rare and innovative expression of Japanese craftsmanship. Unlike the more established Taiwanese and Chinese oolongs, Miyazaki’s oolongs are lighter, cleaner, and remarkably elegant—shaped by Japanese precision, organic cultivation, and the pristine Kyushu climate. The result is a tea that captures both the warmth of summer and the pioneering spirit of Japan’s tea artisans.
