Ohmi tea has great prestige and is loved by many for its rich flavor and fragrance, which are brought about by the rich nature, plenty of sunshine and the beautiful water and air from the surrounding Suzuka mountains.
As the legend goes, the history of the cultivation of tea in this area dates back to the period of the Northern and Southern Courts (1356), when a Zen monk, Donoh of Minami Tsuchiyama Johmyo-Ji Temple brought some tea seeds from Daitoku-Ji Temple in Kyoto to his temple and began to grow tea plants. It was in the Edo period that the production and sales of tea started on a full scale. An advanced tea-producing technology was adopted at an early stage and tea produce was sold as one of the local products along the main roads. Since the local climate and soil were fit for the production of tea, it became an export product in the Meiji period and its production volumes increased substantially.

A delicious tea with a very nice subtle roasted flavor which compliments the sweet potato aroma. Was not bitter at all. Would recommend to first time buyers looking to get their feet wet. Personally I like to sweeten my tea with a little bit of local honey, a full teaspoon at most for 8 ounces. If you do choose to sweeten I would not recommend using sugar as it can overpower the subtle flavor notes. That being said this is a great tea to enjoy as is without sweetener.
