HOTARU Shiracha 白茶
100g
Master Hideyuki Kumagai
Yabukita cultivar
Like the elusive Japanese firefly that shares its name, Hotaru is a super rare white tea, or shiracha in Japanese, unlike anything you'll have tasted before. Processed in a similar way to Chinese Baihao Yinzhen tea, using young tender buds, it produces a sweet, refreshing taste with notes of summer squash, English peas and sweet potatoes, reminiscent of taking a ramble through a farmer's lush garden. We feel privileged to offer you this rare and exclusive tea from Master Kumagai's private collection.
Sorry, this tea is currently unavailable.
