At the foot of the Kirishima mountains, 霧島 the Hayashi family cultivates in their family gardens surrounded by forests, species of tea trees, some of which are becoming increasingly rare in Japan.

This Miumori Shincha 2024 tea is made exclusively from the leaves of the Kabuse Asanoka tea plants.

Shutaro Hayashi harvested this exceptional Shincha on April 25, 2024.

The shaded leaves of the Asanoka are very subtly steamed (asa-mushi) so that this shincha has a beautiful needle shape and the infusion is relatively clear.

The most remarkable is its well integrated umami taste and leaky notes.
