It is characterized by the infusion of high-quality green tea leaves into a base of umeshu, which is a traditional Japanese plum liqueur. The resulting liqueur offers a unique blend of the refreshing, grassy notes of green tea with the sweet and tangy flavors of plum. It is often enjoyed as a chilled aperitif or a digestif and can also be used in cocktails or mixed with soda water for a refreshing drink.
