Product character

Why HI

01

Taste

Pronounced umami and sweetness, with relatively little bitterness or astringency and a clean, lingering finish.

02

Shade

The tea used for HI is shaded for about 20 days before harvest, a defining step in gyokuro production.

03

OOTC craft

OOTC evaluates teas from individual growers and cultivars and blends them through 合組 to create the target HI quality profile.

Serving

OOTC Style

HI is served in small successive infusions over 20 to 30 minutes, allowing the flavour and aroma of the same leaves to evolve.
