Sencha futsumushi from Kawane, Sayamakaori cultivar.
New version of an old classic ... grown in altitude on the high slopes of Kawane, the sayamakaori cultivar showcases an incredibly aromatic profile, with great structure and flavors to enjoy. Notes of fresh exotic fruits and delicate summer greens.
I'd personally award this tea the "bang for your buck" title this year.
