The tea leaves for this kabuse sencha were picked in the famous village of Hoshino in Yame. Hoshino means translated “star field”. A fitting name as in this remote mountain valley the stars shine especially bright. Kabuse Sencha from mountain valleys such as Yame are a rarity because, due to the lower temperatures, the harvest starts about a month later than in deeper and shallower growing areas. The lower temperatures, however, lead to more intense and complex aromas.

The Meiryoku cultivar was used for this tea. Meiryoku is related to the famous Yabukita cultivar and therefore resembles it certain way. The body of Meiryoku paired with the typical Yabukita freshness gives the tea a unique aroma and taste.

Harvest: May 2023
Aroma: Full-bodied and refreshing
Terroir: Hoshino, Yame, Prefecture Fukuoka, Japan
Varietal: Meiryoku
Preparation: In this blog post you will find a description of how to brew Japanese green tea in an optimal way.
