Schlanke, nadelförmige Blätter ergeben einen tiefgrünen, pflanzlichen Geschmack und ein ebensolches Aroma, reif mit Noten von geröstetem Reis und Nori. Im Frühling bis Frühsommer in der aufstrebenden Region Kagoshima geerntet, werden die Blätter perfekt gedämpft, um die Oxidation des Blattes zu stoppen und ihre tiefe Jadegrünfärbung und ihren Geschmack einzuschließen.
The broth is so deeply vegetal it’s almost savory, with that nori umami lingering well after each sip. Those slender needles brewed up clean and smooth, not a hint of bitterness even at three minutes.
Brewed a pot this morning and the toasted rice aroma hit me right away, like walking into a cozy tea shop. The nori note comes through in the finish, making it feel much more complex than your average green tea. I've already ordered another bag.
The first steep hit me with that toasted rice aroma before I even took a sip, and the nori-like savoriness is exactly what I crave in a green tea. I've been through a few spring harvests from other regions, but this Kagoshima batch has a depth that's hard to beat.
