About This Tea

The Organic Arita Farm where we sourced this shincha lot from is situated in southern Japan's Kyushu Island, south of Kagoshima and Mount Kirishima where many of our organic teas are farmed. The Arita Farm specializes in organic tea cultivation and takes great pride in their soil management and composting system that raises impeccable and rich green teas. The volcanic soil delivers both a thick taste sensation and vivid green color. This micro-lot is the first picked shincha from their saemidori cultivar garden and is mid-steamed (chumushi) and lightly roasted to enhance the thick and smooth taste sensations and to accentuate the original cultivar character of saemidori.
