Overview
This decadent koicha is blended entirely from fields of hand-picked Samidori tencha with an average shading time of two months, producing an intense umami. This blended tencha is then rounded out by gentle drying and heating over binchotan charcoal, a traditional practice now almost extinct in Japan. The name Kotobuki (寿) means "Longevity".
