Regular price $30.00
Unit price per
This award winning, limited production, 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 brussel sprout flavour and a slightly smoky finish. It is less astringent than most sencha teas.
