NEW [Grown without pesticide]
A cross between Sayama-midori and Yamato-midori, Oku-musashi is one of the most ancient cultivars from Saitama Prefecture. The cultivar is now particularly rare. However, this Oku-musashi kama-iri cha does not come from Saitama. Instead, it was grown in Ureshino—in Saga Prefecture—at 500 m (1640 ft) in altitude.
The tea’s intense unique fragrances are as floral as they are fruity. It is a warm fragrance, characteristic of kama-iri cha and woody notes. As the tea begins to cool, we find creamy. berry nuances.
The infusion is light and fluid, despite the intense aromas that are consistent with those in the nose. It has a dry, mineral impression.
There is a rich, berry aftertaste, whic evokes redcurrants. This Oku-musashi kama-iri cha’s distinct aromatic profile becomes more prominent in subsequent infusions.
We have here rich, unique kama-iri cha.
