Shizuoka "Sakura-Kaori" Sencha | Hon Dentou [Competition Grade]

(Shizuoka, Japan) This competition-grade Fukamushi-style tea, made from the famous but rare Shizu-7132 cultivar, comes from the Kawane region. It is entirely hand-picked and handcrafted in the Hon Dentou style from the leaves of the 1^st spring harvest, sourced from the best tea plants on the Shizuoka mountain.

It offers very gourmet notes of cherry blossoms, ripe exotic fruits, roasted malt, umami, and bouquet garni. Its liquor leaves a sweet impression with a slightly tart contrast. A unique and memorable grand cru!
