The light greenish infusion with a golden sparkle hides an unusual and delicious taste with a slight hint of sweetness and a rich flood of umami notes.
Origins
Japan is clearly considered the home of the best green teas. One of them is undoubtedly Gyokuro Shincha Kiwami in organic quality. A true rarity that can surprise with its extraordinary taste character, it definitely deserves a privileged position in any tea shop.
Japan Gyokuro Shincha Kiwami is rare for several reasons. It is quite unusual for fully shaded teas to be grown organically at the same time. This is because parasites, to which tea plants are very susceptible, thrive in the shade. Therefore, the care of such shaded trees requires a tremendous amount of experience and skill. In this case, the leaves are fully protected from the sun's rays for a full 18 days, giving them a beautifully rich dark green color.
As the name shincha (loosely translated as first tea) suggests, these are the first leaves harvested of the year. The harvest is associated with the celebration of the end of Hachiju-Hachiya, the 88-night period after the first day of spring according to the Japanese lunar calendar. For tea producers, this is a special moment that is accompanied by a tea festival, meditations and ceremonies. Leaves that are harvested on the day of the culmination of this period are considered particularly valuable.
After harvesting, the tea is steamed for a very short time and rolled into thin, glossy needles. Because shading is very difficult for tea trees in organic cultivation, this tea is produced only once a year. This is also why it is called kiwami, which means ultimate, absolutely perfect. And trust us, under the power of umami in the first cup, you won't think of it any differently.
