Nana-Tsu-Mori (七ツ森) — Seven Forests — takes its name from the terrain surrounding the garden: riverbanks, mountain foothills, and the edge of old wooded groves. The tea is hand-picked, hand-sorted, and stone-milled by an award-winning producer with deep roots in the Uji tradition.
In Uji, the measure of a good tea is simple: gentle sweetness, rounded umami, and a clean bitterness that refreshes rather than lingers. Nana-Tsu-Mori delivers exactly that. The aroma is lush and green — sweet-leafy with a soft, cooked-vegetable warmth and a quiet seaweed depth. On the palate, the sweetness and savory richness come together before the finish arrives clean, brisk, and quietly bitter. Straightforward, complete, and easy to return to.
