KONOMI CAFE EXPERIENCE
-
Konomi San's family has curated and handcrafted delicious tea since the Edo period; for many years, their matcha line was focused on a high grade usucha and a top grade koicha blend. In 2021, he launched a new, easy sipper for everyday use and experimentation. No surprise: it is excellent tea that we snatch every single year.
Experience: bold flavours; roasted squash, umami.

About the Producer
Konomi San's family started their tea business in the Edo period; they were the first family to become tea merchants in the Island of Kyushu. In that period, most of the local teas were kama-iri cha.
In the late Meiji period, Konomi's family were some of the pioneers that imported some production techniques from Uji; as a result of these pioneers, Yame is now famous for its stunning gyokuro and matcha.
