Description
The subtlety of an exceptional family legacy
Originating from Kagoshima, this ichibancha made from the Yabukita cultivar is produced by Itaru Kawaji. He cultivates his tea plants on volcanic soil, continuing the work of his grandfather, who established the tea garden there over thirty years ago.
A tea of great elegance, this green tea boasts a particularly silky texture. Its flavour profile reveals notes of fresh greenery and cut grass, with hints of sea salt and butter.
