GREEN TEA: Kabusencha Saemidori, Japan

Kabusencha Saemidori
Green tea, Japan - organic

Flavour: vegetable broth, umami ~ thick & textural
This 2023 organic Spring harvest tea comes from the Satsuma district of Northern Kagoshima, Southern Japan.

The tea plants are shaded before harvest, which intensifies the chlorophyll content, the tea’s ‘umami’ flavour and increases the level of amino acid L-theanine. The cultivator of tea plant, Saemidori, is known for its bright green leaves and richly-scented liquid.

These slender, jade-coloured needles steep into a textural, brothy infusion with notes of roasted pumpkin, brussel sprouts, zucchini and spinach with a hint of salty seaweed.

Certified organic by Kagoshima Organic Agriculture Association (KOAA).

Infusions: specialty tea leaves can all be steeped at least twice, and often more, so each 3 gram serve (150 mls - a standard teacup size), will give you two cups ('infusions') if you steep the leaves twice. On the back of your pouch under 'Steep', you can find the number of infusions for your tea.

If you infuse your leaves at least twice, your pouch will give you the following cups of tea (or more if you infuse your leaves more times):

50 grams - 33 cups
100 grams - 66 cups
200 grams - 133 cups
