A beautiful expression of everyday sencha from Ushirodake village in Chiran, Kagoshima. This deep steamed tea benefits from slow plant maturation prior to harvest thanks to the hig h elevation of the region, where nighttime temperatures drop significantly. In the cup, this translates to a rich green color with an electric grassiness and heady fragrance. Produced by the Miyahara family, who also make our Chiran Sencha, Sumire is a textbook example of the beauty to be found in the affordable, daily drinking teas of Kagoshima. Show more
