Yunomi House Blend Green Tea – YUG01 Yunomi Tea

Three levels of Japanese green tea – steamed, rolled, and dried leaf presented in a subtle range of green tea flavors.

Packaging and tea may vary from production to production, and may not exactly match the photos seen here.

We utilize this product to practice appraising and blending leaves in small 1-2 kg production lots. This helps understand the activity of producers. As experimentation we strive for consistency of flavor matching the quality level, but do expect differences from production to production.
