- Description
A koicha from Hoshino village in Yame, a region known for gyokuro and matcha grown in soil fed by morning mist. The dry powder gives off an aroma the Den's team likened to white chocolate. Three cultivars build the flavor: Saemidori for color, Yabukita for body, and Okumidori for depth.
