In Kawane, located higher than Kakegawa (where our Ichiban Sencha comes from) the weather is cooler and foggier, thus Sencha Scent of Mountains grows slowly. Having a delightful vegetal aroma, Scent of Mountains has become a staff favorite, and soon to be yours too!
Being Uji's most famous tea, Gyokuro has been sipped by Japanese aristocrats for years! The tea is shade-grown and has a mouth coating flavor of steamed spinach and toasted walnuts. A divine green to taste, Gyokuro is a filling, overall enjoyable tea.
When leaves fall out during the rubbing process of making Sencha, they can come out flat or double-folded. These leaves become a tea called Yanagi Green. The taste is less intense, being lighter and lingering less. A good value green, most enjoy Yanagi after meals.
