Organic Sencha Saemidori
The very first Saemidori of the year. Harvested in mid-april. Beautiful needle shaped leaves, a bright green tea with natural sweetness.
In the cup: Citrus in the nose and a deep umami flavor with protein like bean notes.
The Saemidori or “clear green” is a result of crossbreeding the Aatssuyu and the Yabukita cultivar. It is native to the Kagoshima region and is characterized by a fresh, citrusy aroma, bright green liquor and a deep umami flavor. It is produced at the foot of the Kirishima volcanic mountains by Mr. Nishi, one of the best organic producers in Kagoshima. To bring out the natural sweetness and mellow flavors of this tea it is covered for 11 days before harvest, after which the glossy emerald-green leaves are kneaded into elegant needle like shapes.
