From the tea gardens of Shutaro Hayashi at the foot of the Kirishima Mountains (Japan), an organic Sencha green tea Asamushi Kanaya Midori.
Unlike most senchas, which are made from blends of different teas, this tea is precious and rare because it is made exclusively from the purest leaves of the Kanaya Midori variety.
It is made only with leaves from the 1st harvest of May. The leaves are steamed using the ancient "asamushi" method, which gives the tea a certain roundness and subtle floral nuances.
After infusion, this Sencha is very clear, with a fresh and sweet fragrance. With the second infusion, the flavour becomes more fruity.
CHARACTERISTICS :
- Leaves: well-formed and firm needles.
- Scents: fresh and planty, with hints of forest.
- Infusion colour: very pale.
- Flavour: sweet, floral.
