Kirishima 100 Sencha | 霧島煎茶

This one was kind of unpleasant for me because of how crushed up the leaves were. I’ve ordered several green teas from kettl and while there’s usually some fines/crushed leaves, I’m generally ok with it. However, this one was a bit excessive and resulted in a cloudy cup that I did not enjoy. Bummer.

I ordered five different teas from Kettle. This one was by far my favorite. I loved taste and fragrance. Although I like teas from the more well known regions, this tea from Kyushu is perfect---to my my palate.

This is definitely one of my favorites - Kirishima 100 Sencha.

I’ve been drinking green tea each morning since 2004. I’ve been getting the Japanese
Vegetal varieties from various sources during this years. Happily I found Kettl as my current source. They have a good selection and give me good advice in making new choices. The tea is fresh and arrives in the mail rapidly.
Thanks to Kettl I’m a “happy “ green tea drinker! No worries about being disappointed.

For many years I’ve purchased tea in 100 g bags from Japan, either online or in person (Japanese wife). I make a couple of pots a day. I bought Kirishima, one of Kettl’s fukamushichas, in the 200g bag. I was really surprised at just how good it was. Fresh (it was shincha), great smell out of the bag and just the right amount of astringency. And the price was good - similar to the cost of a 100g bag from Japan, but without the $1200 plane ticket. I’m sold. These guys know tea.
