CHIYO
Premium ORGANIC Sencha
Description
2024 first harvest
This high-grade organic sencha is grown at the top of Yame mountains. Its leaves are covered with snow and so develops more nutrients that create a powerful and delicious taste.
The first brew yields a deep-green tea with a highly pleasing aroma with notes of artichoke and a hint of chestnut. Enjoy its round and rich mouthfeel, with a delicious umami that will linger for a long while.
