Obukucha

What is OBUKUCHA?
Good luck tea to celebrate the New Year and ward off all the unpleasantness from the previous year. The beginning of the tradition of drinking it at Christmas time and at the turn of the year dates back to Kyoto in the Heian period more than 1000 years ago. The type of tea used at Obukucha varies according to the tea merchant's own traditions and preferences.

Konomi Obukucha 2024 is a unique blend of Genmaicha tea for which we, with our exclusive supplier Yoshida Meichaen, have selected leaves from high-quality Gyokura with a smaller proportion of roasted rice in order to highlight the flavor of the leaves even more for you.
