release 001
okumidori
(oh-koo-mee-doh-ree) — name pending the harvest.
kirishima, kagoshima · spring 2026
our first release.
we tasted six cultivars. this was the one we kept coming back to.
volcanic soil in southern japan — that's the mineral finish.
one family farm. four generations on the same hillside.
we'll confirm the name once the leaves are picked in spring. around 200 tins either way.
tastes like
closer to good green tea ice cream than to bitter green tea. sweeter than you'd expect. a mineral finish like cool stones.
