Japan green tea, Shincha Asanoka bio 100g sachet

The Shincha Asanoka tea (新茶) hails from Kagoshima Prefecture, where it is meticulously harvested and gently processed to make the most of the first tender shoots. This region is renowned for its fertile soils and ideal climate for tea cultivation. Shincha Asanoka is a rare and promising tea cultivar, handpicked during the early spring harvests. The tea leaves are distinguished by their needle-like shape.
In terms of flavor, this tea impresses with an elegant balance between a light fruity sweetness and a subtle noble bitterness. The full-bodied, velvety green in the cup leaves a comforting sensation and perfectly harmonizes with the delicate fruity notes.
Tip: Besides enjoying it hot at 60 degrees Celsius, Shincha Asanoka is also excellent as a cold brew, which highlights its refreshing notes beautifully.
