Kawane Shincha
Bright and classic Kawane character,
with flowery notes of sakura and brisk
spring mountain energy
About This Tea
Kawane is a famous sencha green tea producing region located south of the Japanese Alps in the Shizuoka Prefecture. The Kawane terroir is blessed with ample rainfall, mountain fog and cool nighttime temperatures that produce brisk and stimulating sencha green teas with distinctive alpine slopes grown character that Japanese tea tasters describe as “Yama No Kaori” or “the fragrance of the mountain.”
This year we selected an exquisite light-steamed asamushi batch of Kawane sencha made from the Koshun tea cultivar. The Japanese tea bush cultivar named Koshun was bred from the mother of Kurosawa and the father of Kanayamidori tea bushes. Koshun has the natural tendency to produce teas with floral, herbal and complex aromas that waft fruits, spices, resinous woods and flowering cherry (sakura). This batch has outstanding fragrance and a bright spring energy from the mountains of Shizuoka.
