Shincha Classic 2024 - Kabuse Sencha, Organic

The Yutaka Midori cultivar gives Shincha Classic its familiar fresh green aroma and rich color. The combination with a portion of the noble cultivar Sae Midori results in a full-bodied, soft aroma with fine umami, light fruitiness and an unobtrusive astringency.    Shincha - the "new tea" heralds the beginning of the tea year every spring. The first tea from the fine, particularly aromatic leaf tips, which are harvested in mid-April in the subtropical climate of Kagoshima.    In order to best capture the fresh aroma, Shincha is dried a little more lightly in the final processing step than is usual for Sencha. Cultivars: 80% Yutaka Midori from the KEIKO organic farm in Kawanabe (Chiran) and from the Komaki brothers (Minami-Satsuma) 20% Sae Midori from the Komaki brothers (Minami-Satsuma)
