Japanese tea growers call this tea, CHISEN, which means "Spring of Wisdom", referring to the parallel between the flow of knowledge and that which springs from the teapot, warming all who receive it. CHISEN is award-winning, competition grade Japanese koucha, well-known for its distinctive depth and naturally balanced flavor, organically grown by tea master Harashima Masashi in the Yame mountains at 500 meters above sea level. Single-origin, single-cultivar tea leaves are fermented using time-honored traditional methods to produce long-leaf red tea with a flavor profile of hibiscus, amber mapling, and Spanish cedar. Organic Koucha by Harashima Masashi is the first place winner of the 2024 Premium Tea Contest in Japan.

Organic Japanese Koucha is exceptionally rare even in Japan, produced by only a small number of Japanese growers who devote an immense amount of time and effort to every stage of cultivation and preparation. Each harvest of Koucha tea is produced in limited supply and deeply valued for its purity and fine nuances. It is thoughtfully presented in a generous fold of handmade Japanese washi paper flecked in gold and silver.
