The premium Japanese tea "Iki" is a gift set containing Gyokuro and Tokujo Sencha. Carefully selected tea leaves are used and meticulously crafted using traditional methods, resulting in a product that offers a deep umami and rich aroma. The packaging utilizes "Tato Washi," a traditional Japanese Yuzen paper.
Gyokuro "Ryusui" is a tea produced in Uji City, Kyoto, the most famous Gyokuro producing region. The tea leaves used for Gyokuro are grown under cover to block direct sunlight before harvesting, which creates a deep, mellow sweetness and umami, as well as a rich, profound aroma.
Sencha "Ougi" is a special grade deep-steamed sencha (Kakegawa tea) produced at a factory that won the highest award, the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award (1st Place, 1st Rank), at the 49th Tokyo Excellent Tea Competition in Reiwa 1 (2019). Deep-steamed tea has been featured on television and other media multiple times in recent years for its high health benefits, becoming a major trend and the most popular brand of tea./////////////////////////////////////////"Iki" is a Japanese aesthetic concept embodying sophistication, elegance, and stylishness, particularly associated with Japanese culture during the Edo period.
