'Kiwami’ Satsuma Organic Green Tea by Yamaguchi Tea

Picked from the early shoots of spring, Yamaguchi-en’s ‘Kiwami’ organic green tea, has a mellow, full-bodied flavour. This reflects well the growing conditions of Satsuma, which impart a rich sense of early spring in the aroma and flavour of the tea. Kiwami translates as ‘the height’ or ‘the best’ and the tea exists at the top of Yamaguchi-en’s range, offering a refined taste.

The pack is 80g, and it is a leaf tea.

About Yamaguchi-en

Farming tea in the Satsuma region of Kagoshima since 1978, the family run Yamaguchi-en business made the decision in the early 1990s to switch to organic farming. Satsuma is blessed with warm currents and long days of sunshine, supporting a healthy tea crop. But even so, to farm as an organic tea pioneer created numerous challenges. The fruit of the family’s persistence is stable, healthy and tasty teas. Included in this selection on the recommendation of the ceramicist Kaori Sasaki (Nohara-ya), Yamaguchi-en provide the brews that she makes in her ceramic tea ware.
