Based on organically grown tea leaves from the Nishi Tea Factory in Kirishima, Kagoshima Prefecture, the addition of tea from the mountains of Shizuoka Prefecture adds a refreshing aroma that founder Kozo Handa loved to call 'mountain fragrance'.
This is our most popular sencha, achieving a balance of fine aroma and taste.
It was awarded a 2-star gold medal at the Great Taste Awards 2022, an international food competition in the UK.
