Chiran Sencha Fuyuhi | Organic | 2020

Description

Description | 詳細

The tea leaves were harvested in April 2020 and has since been cold-stored until December of the same year when the tea was completed through a final hi-ire firing. The roasting was carried out more intensely compared to Chiran Nōen’s Sencha teas from other seasons, providing Fuyuhi with a more mellow, floral character and warming body sensation.
