Green Tea Japan

Sencha Kagoshima

Product code: CSTV-136

Produced in the Kirishima region, this asamushi (short steaming) style Sencha green tea brings with it the warmth of the southernmost prefecture of the island of Kyushu (Japan), that of Kagoshima.

The long, emerald-green leaves give a luminous appearance in the cup. The taste of sweet herbs, with hints of green peas and grilled seaweed, creates a blend with a distinctly umami feel. The tea leaves a long, floral aroma on the palate.

Very skilfully processed, this green tea combines presence and finesse to perfection.
