- Minamisayaka oolong (orange label): jasmin and honeysuckle scent, sweet, with a clean finish and no bitterness. Refreshing. Typical taste and aroma of its cultivar, Minamisayaka, developed in Miyazaki prefecture. 

- Takachiho oolong (green label). Takachiho cultivar is a specialty from Miyazaki prefecture, created in the 1950s, for making kamairicha. Its long and pleasant aftertaste and light astringency make it perfect for oolong tea.

You can prepare up to four brews in a row. Astringency is more pronounced from the second brew, but bitterness is non-existent.

Did you know?

A semi-oxidised tea, Japanese oolong is produced in very low quantities, and is therefore a delicacy. Miyazaki prefecture is one of the last places where organic Japanese oolong tea is made by a handful of specialised tea growers. 

Unlike in China or Taiwan, the production of oolong tea has been rare in Japan until somewhat recently. Japanese oolongs tend to be more similar to Taiwanese oolongs than Chinese oolongs. The processing method of oolong sits between black and green tea. With their shorter oxidation period, they have a refreshing flavour that is closer to a green tea but still with some of the creamy, deeper elements of a Chinese oolong or even a black tea. Japanese oolongs have a nuanced and complex flavour profile with gentle sweetness and a lingering finish.
