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.

Delicious low-caffeine sencha

My favorite are the organic senchas for their best practices, but Rei lured me away! It's a delicious afternoon tea that I enjoy every time.

Awesome sencha with a fun complexity that brings something for everyone. The blend of different cultivars yields a really interesting profile that represents good umami and vegetal, grassy sweetness. Smell is amazing. Great sencha to try for beginners!
