With a history spanning more than a century, Marumatsu Tea Corporation is a long-established producer with fans not only in its home prefecture of Shizuoka but throughout Japan. One of its most popular products is an assortment of six single-origin Japanese teas. Each is packaged in a small quantity, allowing you to sample a range of tea leaves. Pair them with sweets at home or give the assortment as a gift.
Marukoen's mellow, umami-rich deep-steamed tea is made with high-quality Yabukita leaves grown among gently rolling hills. Although all the teas use the Yabukita cultivar, each has a different flavor depending on its producer and region. Pure Green's kabusecha, a shade-grown tea known for its mellow flavor and vivid green color, uses Tsuyuhikari leaves cultivated in expansive tea fields at elevations of 150–400 m along the foothills of Mount Fuji. The set also includes Yamani's deep-steamed tea, which combines a delicate floral aroma with a robust body and sweetness, as well as deep-steamed teas from Biryokuen and Yagi Seicha.
Marumatsu Tea Corporation carefully selects and purchases its tea leaves, then maintains strict quality control in an environment kept at -20°C. Leaves harvested at the height of the season are frozen to preserve them at their best. For some teas, aging in the freezer also mellows the flavor, bringing out their finest qualities.
