Description

Highest grade available in the US. And it is organic. From the Kyushu prefecture, Kagoshima.

Sweet, umame, fresh flavors; low astringency. Rich body and pine notes. Superb and rare tea.

The tea plants are shaded for 10-14 days before harvest to increase photosynthesis. The leaves become dark green and the flavor is mellowed, deepened, and given a sweet finish.

Great for several infusions. Note the cooler water temperatures and higher than normal quantity per cup. Expect three amazing infusions.
Radiation-free, of course.
