  • OCTOBER 2023 STEAMED TEA CLUB FEATURE!

    Playful yet powerful, the first infusion features notes of zucchini and toasted pumpkin seeds, with the second infusion revealing minerality and sweetness. 

    This is a very unorthodox, organically farmed gyokuro.  It's body is lighter than Uji and Yame counterparts, making it a thirst quenching, very easy sipper.  The tea, however, does not lack in complexity.

    ---------------------------------------

    Origin:  Kirishima, Kagoshima, Japan

    GPS:  31.7ºN 130.8ºE

    Cultivar:  saemidori (さえみどり) is a vibrant cultivar used often for sencha and sometimes for gyokuro and matcha.  It is the offspring of Asatsuyu (with rich umami and low yields) and Yabukita (the most popular cultivar in Japan).
