The quintessential Japanese green tea from the original Japanese tea town, Uji.  Fresh spring tea leaves are gently steamed and processed into a deep green, needle-like finished tea.  The tea brews a pale, emerald green with fresh aromas of grass and sweet peas.  The flavor is balanced and satisfying with slight, green astringency, mild sweetness, and a touch of savory umami.  A perfect tea to sip during an afternoon drizzle.

A deeply satisfying spring green tea form Kagoshima.  Delicate, deep green leaves from the Saemidori varietal give this tea an intensely deep green flavor.  The tea brews thick with a shimmery blue/green color.  Wet, mossy forest aromas with hints of umami seaweed give way to a semi-sweet, gyokuro-like, after taste.  A rich green tea to drink while contemplating the bounties of nature.
