In the cup: Subtle, sweet, and buttery notes with a deep umami flavor.
The very first Organic Sencha Saemidori of the year, harvested in mid-April. Beautiful needle-shaped leaves, balanced with delicate flavors.
The Saemidori, or “clear green,” is a result of crossbreeding the Asatsuyu and Yabukita cultivars. It is native to the Kagoshima region and is characterized by a fresh, citrusy aroma, bright green liquor, and a deep umami flavor. It is produced at the foot of the Kirishima volcanic mountains by Mr. Nishi, one of the best organic producers in Kagoshima. To bring out the natural sweetness and mellow flavors of this tea, it is covered for 11 days before harvest, after which the glossy emerald-green leaves are kneaded into elegant needle-like shapes.
