Japanese Competition Teas

Japanese competition teas are a rare and exquisite expression of taste, technique, and perseverance. They represent less than 1% of the total green tea produced in Japan and are hardly ever sold in stores. However, they are highly celebrated within the tea industry. These teas help promote tea-making for future farmers and producers, and further progress the techniques of hand-making tea. 
 
It takes only a small amount of experience with Japanese tea to appreciate the incomparable beauty of Japanese Competition Tea leaves. After the first brew, you will be amazed by the incredible taste and viscosity of the tea, despite its almost colorless appearance. The first sip provides a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is not soon to be forgotten. Once you overcome this sensation, look under the lid to find the brightest green leaves you have ever seen.
