知覧 煎茶

Chiran Nōen’s finest sencha from the spring harvest in April 2024 made from a careful blend of five distinct cultivars: Asanoka, Asatsuyu, Saemidori, Yutakamidori, and Yabukita.
The young spring leaves are shaded between seven and ten days prior to harvest, and they are subsequently deep-steamed (fukamushi) with the exception of the Yabukita varietal, adding clarity and structure to the tea through its moderate chūmushi steaming.
The result is a vibrantly verdant green tea with a characteristic velvety texture, delicately balancing bright spring-like top notes with deep, but never heavy, sensations of umami.
