Bright and creamy with a round body and luscious mouthfeel, this kamairicha is wonderfully aromatic and refreshing. Its powerful aroma is courtesy of the Koushun cultivar, and its savoury, somewhat nutty taste can be attributed to the pan-firing process. Unlike the vast majority of Japanese green teas, kamairicha is not steamed to stop oxidation. Instead, the leaves are pan-fired in a method derived from Chinese green tea production. Kamairicha is much older than sencha, dating back over 500 years. Today, however, less than 0.5% of Japanese tea is kamairicha. Compared to sencha, it is less astringent and has a markedly different aroma, slightly nutty and roasty, but still very green. Despite its Chinese-style, kamairicha tastes quite different from most modern Chinese green teas, remaining distinctly Japanese in character.
