Organic green tea produced in Shiga, Japan.

🟢WHAT IS "ASAMIYA"? 

Asamiya is one of 5 major tea plantations in Japan.
A Japanese monk brought tea tree seed back from China and planted them in Asamiya area 1200 years ago, 
which is believed to be the origin of Japanese green tea.

Since Asamiya is high quality tea, it is purchased by tea masters in Uji, Kyoto before it goes to the market.
Asamiya is blended with other leaves in order to produce final products for Uji tea.
Therefore it is very rare even in Japan.
