About the product
TOKOSHIE is Kurasu's original first-flush blend.
The first-flush tea is a finely picked tea, the very first pick of the lush harvest season in spring- nourished by a rich soil surviving the harsh winter, and soft, fresh green sprout of tea leaves has the best and most goodness of the harvest.
We selected our single origin Okuyutaka and Okumidori to bring the umami of Okuyutaka and the refreshing aroma of Okumidori in a cup, bursting with flavor - makes this tea fit for special occasions.
A perfect choice for a gift and celebrations.
"TOKOSHIE" is a Japanese word that means "eternity". We named this special tea with a wish that the time you spend enjoying tea will last for a long time.
As the corona virus continues to affect us this year, opportunities to go out are often limited.
We hope that this tea will give you a calming moment to reflect and take care of yourself, and also to take time to think about others who are dear to your heart.
