Overview
The oxidized teas produced by Yoshiaki Hiruma are some of the most expressive and expertly crafted selections we’ve ever encountered. Hiruma-san isn’t just participating in the burgeoning exploration of oxidized teas in Japan, which still remains a novelty and niche production; he’s one of the vanguard voices of the movement. Crafted from 100% Yumewakaba cultivar leaves, this is the most refined and expressive black tea we have had the pleasure of sourcing. The beautifully crafted leaf foreshadows what is in store: a honeyed aroma with notes of dried fruits, savory pumpkin, and baked spices.
