NOW 100 Grams!! This rare certified organic sencha represents the pinnacle of the tea season, a fleeting moment where nature and human spirit align to create something truly special. Artisan Craftsmanship To preserve the integrity of the plant, the farmer utilizes the ancient ritual of hand-picking (tezumi). The Golden Standard: Only the most tender, juicy and highest quality leaves are selected. The 1kg Limit: Even our most master pickers can harvest only 1 kg of tea per day. This slow, intentional pace ensures that every leaf remains unbruised and brimming with its original life force. A Labor of Love: From dawn until dusk, the community works tirelessly, pouring their soul into every tea bud. Sensory Profile Because these leaves are harvested while young and tender, they possess a character that cannot be replicated. Taste: A soft, ethereal sweetness—deeply umami and free from bitterness. Aroma: A luxurious, rich fragrance that evokes the fresh spring air, mineral rich soil and unique climate of Kirishima, Kagoshima. Soul: More than just a beverage, this tea carries the vibration of the organic soil and the dedicated hands that tended it.
