Description

The powerful and remarkable fragrance of this premium and very rare sencha can be enjoyed as soon as you open its bag. This power is matched by its high caffein contents. In your mouth, its umami, sweetness and fresh tastes blend together to leave you with an unforgettable impression.

With next to no bitterness, this exceptional and refreshing tea, picked in spring in the Yame mountains, has a very nice light gold color. You can enjoy it in the late morning time for a maximum energizing effect.
