Edible flower tea from Ohara, Kyoto

Located in Ohara, Kyoto, amidst the tranquil scenery of rural woodlands, Otobuki Farm grows vegetables and herbs without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Herbal teas made with herbs and edible flowers carefully grown in the fields have a gentle, beautiful aroma and color that evokes the breath of rural woodlands.

The appeal of Otobuki-hata tea

The produce is grown in-house without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and is carefully hand-picked. Flowers are left whole, and leaves are washed minimally with water before being machine-dried at low temperatures to the appropriate moisture content, while maintaining high quality, beautiful color, and flavor.

In order to create a herbal tea that is free of impurities and does not lose its aroma, the leaves of herbs are dried along with the stems and branches, and then the whole leaves are carefully removed. For flowers, only the petals are carefully removed and stored in light-proof bags to preserve their quality.

After much trial and error, we arrived at Otobukibatake's two original blends, which adjust the flavor balance, emphasize visual beauty, and bring out the seasonal flavors of the village.

Satoyama Blend

This is a blend of wild and home-grown herbs, centered around mugwort, which sprouts on the ridges of Ohara's fields in spring. Enjoy the refreshing scent of grass.

Red shiso blend

1,000 yen/8g

We continue to harvest our own red shiso, a specialty of Ohara, which has an outstanding aroma and color. This is a proud product that is blended mainly with red shiso and has a flavor that goes well with both Japanese and Western dishes. After pouring hot water, adding lemon juice or other citric acid will change the color to a vibrant red, making it a visually appealing treat.
