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.

Brian ThompsonNov 2, 2018, 00:58A 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.
