Unit price per
This award winning, limited production, 2025 first flush, organic tea is pan-fired, a processing technique usually used in Chinese green teas. This process produces dried leaves with a unique curly shape rather than the needle shapes of traditional Japanese sencha teas. It has a distinct sweet, roasted soybean aroma with a hint of caramelization, a complex, balanced vegetal, nutty brussels sprout flavour and a slightly smoky finish. It is less astringent than most sencha teas. The pan-fired method is distinct to the traditional Kyushu Island style. Currently, this method is utilized to process only 1 - 5 % of tea in Japan.
