Slanka, nålliknande blad ger en djupt vegetabilisk smak och arom, mogen med toner av rostat ris och nori. Skördade från vår till tidig sommar i den framväxande regionen Kagoshima, ångas bladen till perfektion för att stoppa oxidationen av bladet, samt för att låsa in deras djupa jadefärg och smak.
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.
