SAIKOU Superior Sencha 煎茶

[ previously OUTRAGEOUS ]

Master Hideyuki Kumagai

Yame, Kyushu

Cultivar: Tsuyuhikari

Saikou means the highest, the best, the utmost in Japanese, and this tea is an outrageously good super sencha, made only from the Tsuyuhikari cultivar. It's thick and brothy, with an intense umami which gives way to gentle notes of sweet pear, apricot and creamy edamame. Master Kumagai's expertise in the traditional art of tea production includes shading these leaves for five days before picking, bringing out these unparalleled qualities.
