Beautiful Shincha from Yame for the start of autumn. After harvesting in May, the tea is processed into Aracha (unfinished tea) and then deep-frozen. In autumn, it is processed into Shiagecha (refined tea) and is thus available as fresh tea in October. Kuchikiri is the start of the 10th month of the traditional lunar calendar.
Character:
Mellow and full, grassy-green, hearty, with fresh, fruity and subtly sweet nuances.
