"Ori" means the same as Karigane but to Tencha. This means that the stem content is higher than in normal tea.
The "little brother" of the Tsuji competition Tencha "Ori." Extremely mild with almost no bitter substances, plus a special umami and sweetness that can only be found in Tencha. A special tea at a comparatively low price.
