This organic Sencha offering comes from Miyazaki Prefecture in southern Japan. Grown and harvested using organic practices, this tea is crafted from seven different cultivars grown on the same property to create a rounded, robust flavour profile.
A sweet, delicate fragrance introduces this organic Japanese Sencha tea. The emerald green leaves draw a yellow-jade liquor with a fresh, clean aroma and a light vegetal character reminiscent of steamed spring greens with savoury hints of umami. A well-balanced, smooth, sweet lingering finish completes an outstanding Japanese green tea experience. This tea is a true gem from Japan.
Ken, a third-generation tea farmer, born in the early '60s, grew up in an immersive environment surrounded by lush trees abundant with bird song.
By being an organic tea farm and a proud steward of the environment, the native flora & fauna have flourished. It's fantastic standing amongst the field of meticulously kept rows of hedges and hearing all the birds around in the surrounding trees. The rich biodiversity results in tea plants benefitting immensely and producing high-quality leaves for us all to sip away on and enjoy.
