— Suzusumi: A Love Story in Japanese Tea “Suzusumi” is born from the warmth of glowing charcoal and the careful tradition of tea-making. Natsuki Wada, winner of Japan’s Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award and champion of the National Tea Appraisal Competition, created this tea using generations of skill and the special hand-roasting method called sumibi-shiage.
— Tasting Notes Deep umami and pleasant bitterness combine in this blend to create a memorable, full-bodied tea. The flavor lingers, balancing rich broth-like savoriness with a refreshing lightness.
— Craftsmanship Using sumibi-shiage, a traditional charcoal roasting method, the tea leaves are slowly dried over natural heat, bringing out their inherent umami and aroma from the heart. This hand-crafted technique is rare, preserved only by the Wada Family today.
