Kagoshima Sencha Asanoka Exclusive

About product

The Asanoka cultivar was bred in the late 20th century in Kagoshima and translates as "the scent of morning". Its current representation in Japan is less than 1%.

This sencha was processed with fukamushi method by brothers who have won awards for their teas not only in Japan but also around the world.

The dry leaf gives off a pleasant aroma of sweet corn, which can be smelled from the leaves even between infusions.

The Asanoka cultivar is rich in amino acids, giving this tea a full and rich umami flavor with a pleasant lingering aftertaste.

The full potential of this sencha is revealed in autumn when it is left to mature for a few months.
