Chiran Sencha | Organic | 2025

知覧 煎茶

The finest sencha from Asuka Nuruki in Chiran, Kagoshima, crafted 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 then subsequently deep-steamed (fukamushi) with the exception of the Yabukita varietal, adding a pleasant sense of clarity and structure through its moderate chūmushi steaming.

The final result is a vibrantly verdant green tea with a characteristically smooth and velvety texture, delicately balancing bright notes of spring with a deep, but never heavy, sensation of umami.
