Meiryoku Sencha | 煎茶めいりょく

The Meiryoku cultivar isn't one you see every day, so it naturally sparked our interest. The first sip of this tea immediately convinced us to add it to our lineup.

When you open the bag, you're greeted with a spicy, black-pepper smell which might surprise you because the taste is quite the opposite. Despite its bold aroma, the tea itself has a gentle and soothing flavour, resembling oatmeal. This delightful tea is cultivated with care by two sisters on their organic farm in Kirishima.

A truly great tea at a very good price.

This tea won the Fine Product prize at 2021 Nihoncha Award
