==================== ▶ Taste and aroma ==================== It is made by roasting the stems that are sorted in the process of making black tea at a high temperature. It is a unique taste that allows you to enjoy not only the gorgeousness of Japanese black tea, but also the bitter taste and smoky aroma of roasted hojicha roasted over high heat. ==================== ▶ About the production area / producer ==================== Minokamo Tea Shop's tea is grown in Higashi-Shirakawa Village, which has a population of about 2,000 people located in the eastern part of Gifu Prefecture, which is considered to be the birthplace of "Shirakawa tea". Surrounded by mountains with an altitude of 1,000 meters, Higashishirakawa Village covers 90% of the total area in mountain forests. Tea leaves grown in tea plantations at an altitude of about 400 to 700 meters, which is said to be the limit of cultivation due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening, are characterized by a deep taste that harmonizes rich umami and refreshing astringency, and a refreshing "mountain scent". Japanese black tea is made from tea leaves produced by Mr. Yasue, a tea farmer in Higashishirakawa Village.
