Details
Tea Type: Green
Origin: Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan.
Caffeine Level: Medium
Processing Details: In the high elevations of the Kashogima organic tea pioneer Nishi-san and his family grow the three types of tea plants that are blended to create our asamushi shincha (first flush sencha) in a Japan Agriculture Standard and USDA certified organic tea garden, then the leaves are lightly steamed.
Tasting and Aroma Specs: Refreshing and balanced with a pleasing bitter-sweetness and light grassiness. Incredibly balanced with both pronounced umami and notes of freshly cut grass. Sweet rice aromas remain long after the final sip. This first flush Asamushi sencha from Kagoshima prefecture is the pinnacle of balance, all in one sip.
Food Pairing: Japanese Cuisine or Samovar’s Maki Bowl
