Our most stoic comparison set, revealing how the hands of the craftsman and the breath of the land redefine the essence of the leaf.

Included:

・JU-HACHI (18): Born from the black soil of Chausubaru Highland, undergoes a specialized 4-stage roasting and semi-speed stone milling. The result is a "weightless, spherical particle texture" with vertical complexity.
・JU-NANA (17): A bridge between Kirishima and Uji, utilizes low-speed milling and light roasting to protect the delicate Ooika (covered aroma).

Cultivars:
Both JU-HACHI (18) and JU-NANA (17) are composed of the same prestigious cultivars: Okumidori and Saemidori. Through differences in terroir and roasting processes, they evolve into two distinct experiences.

KOICHA

The Sensorial Test
Focus specifically on the "texture on the tongue."

Experience the contrast between the silk-like weightlessness of JU-HACHI (the effect of semi-speed milling and deep roasting) versus the milky, lingering smoothness of JU-NANA (the result of low-speed milling and the preservation of light fire).

Tip

For extra sweetness and umami, whisk with water below 60°C (140°F). Lower temperature reveals a smoother, gentler flavor.
