Overview
Best pick • solid other choice from Unknown origin
Pairing: shortbread, fresh fruit, or mild cheeses
The rare pan-fired processing of this kamairicha from Kumamoto gives Takamura its savoury and nutty flavour. Though older than sencha, kamairicha makes up less than 0.5% of Japanese tea produced today. This traditional tea is smooth and easy drinking, with less astringency than most sencha.
