A Jun-Sencha (non-shaded Sencha) from Satsumacho, Kagoshima. 99% of the teas produced in Kagoshima are shaded, therefore traditionally grown Jun-Senchas are a real rarity from this growing area.
A strong umami with an incredible blackcurrant-like sweetness that fills the whole room when you open the bag. The aroma is strongly reminiscent of avocado and the tea has a long-lasting sweet and spicy aftertaste that fills the whole mouth.
