Description

A sublime organic saemidori sencha that was handpicked (Tezumi in Japanese) at the Nishi families organic tea plantations in Kirishima, Kagoshima in early spring this year from their organic certified saemidori tea garden.

Regarded as approximately a medium steamed sencha by Mr. Nishi although in appearance it’s closer to a light steamed sencha rather than deep steamed. Regardless of that, this organic sencha really does top the lot. Fantastic complexity of taste, rich, sweet, succulent, and soothing, all four in abundance. A handpicked masterpiece that truly is a top quality sencha.
