HARU
Premium Kabusecha
Description
2024 first harvest
HARU is an exceptional single-origin kabusecha created by Takaki san in Hoshinomura. This delicious shaded green tea is made with Kirari 31 cultivar. Enjoy its lingering and round mouthfeel!
Compared with other cultivars, Kirari 31 is characterized by its higher amino acid content and lower catechin content, giving it greater umami and very low astringency.
Delicious vegetal notes, reminiscent of spinach, fresh marine and soft nutty notes greet you as soon as you open the bag. The fine, elegant needles of HARU have pretty shades of green, between pistachio and Hooker’s green. Its bouquet is darker than sencha leaves, and lighter than a gyokuro.
After brewing, the liqueur is a lovely linden-green color. You will be surprised by the great complexity and density of this kabusecha, and enjoy its creamy liquor and intense umami flavor.
