Delicate vegetal aroma and flavor with a nutty and smooth finish. Clean, sweet and refreshing.
This is undoubtedly the finest Japanese Sencha we have tasted to date. A prime example of what makes first flush sencha so sought after: a fine delicate vegetal aroma and taste, followed by an almond finish. Sweet and delicate yet complex vegetal, oceanic and satisfying umami flavor. This organic Asamushi Sencha known in Japanese as “Asamushi-cha”. It is lightly steamed green tea, much shorter than typical sencha. Different levels of steaming are different “mushi”s. Lighter steaming (30 seconds) will result in a lighter, cleaner, more delicate, more astringent flavor, as well as a lighter color. Do not use water over 75C or the flavor profile will be vanished.

The bright, vibrant hibiscus blossom is recognized in many parts of the world as much for its gorgeous petal displays and cultural significance as for the splendidly sweet and tangy taste of the herbal tea it produces. In Hawaii, for instance, a woman who wears the hibiscus flower behind her left ear is indicating that she would like to take a lover, while one who wears it behind her right has already been claimed. One who wears it behind both, however, may present a bit of a quandary to the potential man, or else a laid-back dream come true: she already has one lover, but wouldn’t mind another.
