Kamairicha (farmer's sickle-shaped tea) is a special type of green tea that is made by steaming and pan-firing before drying to yield a half-round tea. This micro-lot reveals a stunning depth of aromatic complexity with multi-faceted florals usually associated with the very best oolong teas from Taiwan. The farmer artisan who made this tea, Mr. Suzuki-San utilizes oolong tea withering tactics and unique processing techniques to tease out the very special flowery aromas and elegance found in this really limited cultivar: Fushun. Every year there is such a small amount of this tea made, and we were very lucky to get some. Fushun is noted for its complexity of aroma and high mountain elevation performance.
