Sencha

A quality quotidian sencha, the narrowly-rolled leaves yield an exceptionally bright yellow-green liquor. They have been grown in proximity to the Sakurajima volcano in Kagoshima, where rich volcanic ash nourishes the plants and lends a distinctive stony flavour to the brew, on top of a mild body of dry grass and an undertone of lemon peel. A tea one can enjoy every day, or as a foil to sweet and juicy accompaniments.
