Tsukigase Sencha-hōji | Natural farming | 2023

月ヶ瀬　煎茶ほうじ

Lightly roasted sencha from a single tea garden of more than 50-year-old zairai tea trees, grown by natural farming methods without any use of pesticides or fertilisers in Tsukigase, Nara.

Following their spring harvest, the young tea leaves undergo a light oxidation through wilting, revealing rich, almost oolong-like aromas – known in Japanese as ichōka.

An extensive aging period further enhances the tea’s fragrant ichōka character, while a gentle final roasting imparts a comforting sense of warmth and depth.

The result is a rare semi-oxidized Japanese tea quite unlike any other – offering a unique expression in-between sencha, hōjicha, and oolong.
