Sencha - Kiwami no Midori

Kiwami no Midori is Konomien’s highest quality sencha, blended from Saemidori, Yabukita, and Kirari 31. Deep-steamed to perfection, it produces a vibrant green liquid with a mild umami profile and a hint of roasted flavor. Exceptionally soothing, this tea represents the essence of Yame sencha and is a TGL favorite.

Yabeya Konomien Honke, the oldest family-owned tea merchant in Kyushu and credited with naming Yame-cha, has been processing and selling high-quality tea since the mid-Edo period. In 2017, their store and tea factory were registered as cultural assets of Yame City. They work closely with trusted Yame tea farms to source tea leaves under the guidance of their fourteenth-generation master. They offer only first-cropped tea leaves, ensuring each cup captures the authentic taste and aroma of Yame-cha.
