From Chiran, Kagoshima, Shimono san expertly blended four cultivars (Yutaka Midori, Yabukita, Sae Midori, and Asatsuyu) to create this high-quality, deep-steamed (fukamushi) sencha. REN has a light body with notes of steamed broccoli, pine nut, and water chestnut.
Subtle floral notes of dried gardenia and spring flowers balance with underlying umami characteristics. Its silken and sweet finish comes through beautifully with multiple steeps as you taste more of what Chiran has to offer.
