REI
Premium Sencha
Description
First harvest 2023
This premium, first-harvest sencha hails from Chiran area, Kagoshima prefecture, the largest tea production area of Japan, and is one of the leading products of Shimono-en. REI is a bright and refreshing sencha made with a blend of four cultivars (Yutaka Midori, Yabukita, Sae Midori, and Asatsuyu).
This sencha has notes of zucchini, buttered spinach, and sweetgrass, and a lingering sweetness and rich umami characteristics. Subtle notes of snap pea and marjoram support its fragrant liquor. This deep-steamed (fukamushi) sencha should be brewed for about 60 seconds at 70°C.
The very fresh fragrance of this sencha and its pleasing and beautiful green color make it a real jewel. You can still enjoy its quality and complexity after a second and third brews.
