Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
We aimed to provide a unique tea experience from Kagoshima, and our efforts have exceeded our expectations. Kagoshima is on the southern tip of Japan’s southern Kyushu Island. This is a blend of light and deep-steamed senchas made from the Yutaka Midori cultivar. Yutaka Midori means intensely green, and this tea delivers. The light steaming makes for a sweeter green tea.
