High-Grade ORGANIC Sencha
Description
First harvest tea (shincha 2023)
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.

CanadaFull bodied luxury
I’ve had to start keeping a tea diary because of this tea. I never want to forget it’s name. It’s the most beautiful sencha I’ve ever tasted, absolute luxury! There’s nothing bitter here, but one expects it to be because of the rich green smell and the usual bite that comes with a tea of that calibre. It’s so easy to drink that I’m afraid it goes far too quickly and there's not a lot in the bag. The expense will have to be worth it because this one’s a keeper, a treasure and a most sincere morning pleasure. Easily a 5 star experience, it will be on the permanent list of my sencha teas.

If you like a big umami taste, with a great brothy texture and bold sea taste, this is perfect for you! Really nice morning tea to gently lift you up for the day and bring good focus. Subsequent infusions bring out a wide variety of flavor notes, including sweet grass and melon. Really enjoy this one and for the price, this is a great deal!
