Choya Uji-Green Tea Umeshu brings together two of Japan's signature flavours: ume liqueur and green tea. The umeshu is made from 100% Japanese Nanko ume, then infused with premium green tea from the Uji region of Kyoto. It is 7.5% ABV in a 720ml bottle, with no artificial acidulants, colourings, flavourings or preservatives.
Uji is a small city on the southern outskirts of Kyoto, known for its cultural heritage and, above all, its tea. Of all the green tea grown in Japan, Uji green tea is widely considered the finest, thanks to the region's soil, terrain and temperatures. In the glass, the tea adds a gentle bitterness and a savoury edge that keeps the sweet-tart plum in check.
Serve it chilled or over ice, or lengthen it with soda for a lighter drink. It is a lovely pour after a Japanese meal and a good choice for anyone who finds standard umeshu too sweet. Ralph's imports Choya directly, with Metro Manila delivery.
