An exceptional organic sencha from the sloping banks of Lake Imuta in Kagoshima renowned for its ecological significance, being a Ramsar Site and designated as a Natural Monument of Japan due to its rich biodiversity, including rare dragonfly species. This protected environment ensures a pristine, natural setting for tea cultivation.
The region's climatic conditions, such as misty mornings and ample sunshine, combined with mineral-rich soil and the lake's natural water resources, contribute to the tea's exceptional quality. It's crafted from the Saemidori cultivar, renowned for its exquisite flavor profile, which is characterized by a gentle sweetness and delicate umami. Unlike heavily steamed sencha common in Kagoshima, this tea undergoes a light steaming process, preserving its nuanced aroma, clarity, and clean taste.
The resulting tea offers not only a relaxing sensory experience but also embodies the artistry and ecological harmony of its origin, making it a rare and highly coveted offering in the realm of organic sencha.
