Organic Sencha Kirishima Tea bags

Tea Farm

The tea farmer is the second generation manager of this well-reputed small tea farm in the choice terroir of Makizono. Together with his father and son, he specialises in the production of premium organic sencha. The farm boasts an impressively diverse range of southern cultivars from which he produces exceptional blends of tea.

Organic Sencha Kirishima Tea bags

Character

Mountain sencha with a well-rounded taste, from the choice terroir of Makizono in Kirishima. The high elevation in the idyllic Kirishima mountains lends this tea a pleasant taste full of character that is mild and subtly sweet. The leaves of the southern cultivars in this blend yield a full-bodied taste as a result of the superb growing conditions of the terroir, as well as the brief steaming of the leaves themselves. This blend consists of tea from Nishi Seicha (>50%) as well as other organic partner farms in Kagoshima.

Sencha

Sencha is by far the most commonly cultivated and consumed green tea in Japan and constitutes the backbone of Japanese tea traditions. The leaves are typically steamed for 10-60 seconds, dried with hot air, churned, and via a multi-staged process rolled into flat needles. The flavour profile of sencha is very diverse and varies between sweet, fresh and grassy to robustly bitter. The region of cultivation as well as quality of the tea play a significant role in determining flavour.

Cultivation & Processing

Beautiful mountain fields at 670m elevation in the top growing region of Kirishima near Mt. Karakuni (1,700m). Kirishima is named for its fog (霧 ""kiri""), which reduces UV light and naturally shades the tea plants, thus promoting the production of an umami flavour (natural kabuse).

Few tea farms exist in this idyllic region, making it an ideal location for organic cultivation. With fewer farms nearby, the risk of contamination by pesticide drift is reduced. The tea field has been certified organic since 2006 and consists of an easily monitored and managed 16ha of land.

Single Origin

This tea is exclusively sourced from the above mentioned tea farm in Makizono. Sourced directly from the tea farmer.

Preparation

Brewing Guide

Allow the teabags to steep for approximately 2 minutes in 100-300ml (60°C) water. For a full-bodied tea, gently swirl the cup for the last 20 seconds.

Note: The teabag does not need to be removed after steeping, as the flavour will remain balanced even after a long steeping time. Each teabag can be used multiple times. Reuse according to personal taste.

Packaging

Packaged for us by the farmer in high quality, airtight, resealable standing zipper pouches.

Recommended Teapot

The ideal cup for preparing tea with our teabags is a large Japanese clay teacup (yunomi) with a volume of 250-300ml.

Recommended Storage

Ideally store in a quality tea caddy made from cherry tree bark (wooden, kabazaiku chazutsu) or an airtight, double-coated metal tin.
