hitamichi Tasting Set (Hand-Rolled Tea & Sencha)

Two stories born from the same leaves.

This special tasting set allows you to enjoy two expressions of Japanese tea:

  • Hand-Rolled Tea, crafted by Japan’s top tea artisan Eiji Komuro, holder of the nation’s No.1 hand-rolled tea title.

  • Sencha, celebrated for its refreshing balance of astringency and sweetness, also crafted by Komuro.

Hand-Rolled Tea

Carefully hand-picked and hand-rolled by Komuro over 3.5 hours, this tea is a rare creation.
Traditionally, award-winning hand-rolled teas require 7 hours of rolling to produce just 1kg, making them extremely scarce.
This version, while shortened to half the time, is crafted as the perfect introduction to the world of hand-rolled tea.
It is characterized by low bitterness, a silky texture, and a clean, transparent taste.

Sencha

A classic Japanese tea with a harmonious balance of gentle astringency and sweetness.
Its refreshing aroma and smooth drinkability make it an ideal everyday tea, perfect to accompany meals.

The Joy of Comparison

Start with a cup of sencha, then follow with a cup of hand-rolled tea.
By alternating between the two, the differences in aroma, astringency, and umami become vividly clear.
Experience how distinct flavors are born from the same leaves, finished in different ways.

Beautifully boxed, this set also makes an excellent gift.
