Description

First flush 2023

SAWA is a beautiful representation of Kiya san’s craftsmanship. This kabusecha has deep-green, needle-shaped leaves, indicative of the shading process that this tea undergoes prior to harvesting.

The shading of this tea leads to more developed umami characteristics accented with notes of pine and narcissus. Its complex and aromatic liquor has notes of bok choy, nori, and artichoke. This tea can be steeped multiple times, and its distinctive layers can be enjoyed throughout the day.

I am from Canada and I order all my tea from Ikkyu. This is the foundation of my daily tea consumption. Truly a beautiful tea with the most complex profile for the cheap cost. I would recommend everyone to add this to your order to start your tea experience with this company.
