Kirishima Tokujou Sencha | 霧島特上煎茶

Description: Simply the most refined Sencha we have come across. A beautiful representation of Kagoshima - specifically Kirishima. Rich, unctuous body meets the unrivaled depth of fragrance that only heritage plants can produce. A stunning achievement. This Sencha was made from heritage plants - bushes that have a longer history and come from select cuttings. The stunning sweetness of this tea is a testament to careful growing, production and blending. This tea is limited in supply.

What is so special about this tea? Kagoshima will soon overtake Shizuoka as the largest producer of tea in Japan by prefectural output. The majority of this tea comes from the Chiran area - slightly south of Kirishima. Kirishima is lesser-known - especially outside of Japan. Known for producing high-grade Sencha and Kabuse, Kirishima is a spot you should definitely know about. We love what this tea maker is doing - coaxing out incredible flavors while still offering a wonderful value.
