      Kirishima Organic Asamushi Sencha

      Grown organically in the mountainous Kirishima area of Kagoshima. This is a rather exclusive product, only the tips of the young tender buds are used. Light steamed, this sencha has a medium body and carries a rather intense, nice grassy aroma and an unusually strong umami flavor. Organic Kirishima Asamushi Sencha has a very nicely balanced astringency, aroma and taste. The quality of this tea got our attention and we decided to carry it for those organic green tea enthusiasts who demand the very best. Very delicious, we are confident you will enjoy this product. As with all of our loose leaf green teas, packaged in nitrogen flushed packaging.

      O-Cha.com's package includes 100 grams of tea.

        (2022, 2023) This is one of the best teas from the Yabukita cultivar I have had. Normally, the teas from this cultivar in the past have been too boring for me. Not this one. It has a complexity to its flavor that the others lack. Its scent is also much better than most teas I have sampled from this cultivar. This is an absolutely delicious tea, with an incredible fragrance. I brew according to the instructions, and sometimes I brew it 5 degrees hotter(F), and it still turns out wonderful. Dont push the time envelope too much, or it will become bitter beyond complexity. The taste is not improved by pushing the envelope much like other teas.
        I have to say O-cha is the best! I have tried Japanese teas from other vendors, and I always come back here because they don't except low quality teas, and you don't have to "guess" as much. Other companies are not as picky with the quality, and so I have been disappointed in the past with subpar teas. You won't be with O-cha.

        A very powerful tea. As far as taste goes, this is my favorite available here. It is similar in flavor to the organic kabusecha and organic kanayamidori, which are not available this year. If you liked those, try this one. It requires less leaf to get it full bodied and aromatic, so the cost per cup is actually reasonable.

        I really like this tea. It has umami mixed in with grassiness. Really flavorful and while strong -- the flavors work together so well. Very satisfying.
