Discovering Nara’s Hidden Gem: Tsukigase Green Tea
A Taste of Japan’s Peaceful Mountains, Delivered to Your Home
When people think of Japanese tea, places like Shizuoka or Uji often come to mind. But tucked away in the quiet mountains of Nara Prefecture lies Tsukigase, one of Japan’s oldest and most scenic tea-growing regions. Known for producing elegant, aromatic sencha with exceptional clarity of flavor, Tsukigase green tea is a true hidden gem—and one we’re proud to feature in Onsen Box.
What Makes Tsukigase Special?
Tsukigase is a remote valley surrounded by misty mountains, where tea has been cultivated for over 800 years. The region’s unique climate—cool nights, warm days, and frequent morning fog—helps the tea leaves grow slowly, developing a deep, complex flavor.
A Flavor That Reflects the Landscape
Tsukigase green tea is celebrated for its:
- Refreshing, clean taste
- Light sweetness and delicate umami
- Beautifully smooth finish
- Aroma that feels like a walk through a spring forest
It’s the kind of tea that invites you to slow down, take a breath, and enjoy a moment of calm—much like a soak in a Japanese onsen.
Perfect for Your Wellness Ritual
Many Onsen Box customers enjoy a cup of Tsukigase tea right after their bath, especially when using Onsen Redox or Onsen Bath Powder. The gentle warmth of green tea pairs beautifully with post-bath relaxation, helping you unwind both body and mind.
