About This Tea

This tea is a blend of mid-steamed sencha from Kirishima and Shizuoka regions of Japan. The tea was vibrant and rich green tea as shincha “New Spring Tea” but after 4 months of aging in a sake barrel, it transforms to a deep and dark, opaque and juicy infusion color. It is surprising for a green tea to have such rich and layered taste. The sake barrel aging creates such a unique flavor experience with tasting notes of peach, nectarine, toasted nut and soft cinnamon spice notes. This is one of our very unique Kuradashi teas and the micro-lot is less than 15 kilograms.
