OCHA 513

Origin

OCHA 513 is a Japanese-style green tea developed for professional foodservice and hospitality applications. Produced from carefully selected Indonesian tea leaves, it is processed to bring forward the fresh, vibrant character associated with Japanese-style green tea while maintaining consistent performance for professional brewing.

Its smaller broken-leaf format allows the tea to extract efficiently, delivering a clear green character, fresh aroma, and satisfying umami in a relatively short brewing time. This makes OCHA 513 particularly suited to cafés, restaurants, hotels, and high-volume beverage service.
