Kagoshima Sencha Premium, organic

Kagoshima Sencha Premium, organic - a tea from another time

Imagine a place where the earth lives. Where volcanic rock supplies the soil with minerals, clouds of mist envelop ancient tea fields and water rises from depths so pure and nourishing that it seems almost sacred. It is precisely there, in the south of Japan, in the pristine landscape of Kagoshima, that this special Sencha grows - hand-picked, cultivated close to nature and refined with great patience.

Naturalness that you can taste

The Kagoshima Sencha Premium comes from Chiran, a renowned cultivation area with volcanic soil. The water for irrigation is drawn from a depth of 144 meters and first flows through several layers of volcanic rock - which not only sounds remarkable, but also provides the tea with an exceptional mineral base. Combined with mild day-night temperature fluctuations, the result is a plant that radiates both strength and gentleness from within.

A ritual of the sun

In the last few days before the harvest, the tea fields are traditionally covered with protective cloths. This "shielding" reduces sunlight, promotes the formation of chlorophyll - recognizable by the deep dark leaf green - and intensifies the natural umami content of the tea leaves. The result: a velvety taste that effortlessly combines sweetness and freshness. The tea farmers in Chiran say: "The tea breathes more calmly - just like us."

Look at the leaf & cup

Before the infusion:

• Shape: fine, needle-like, firmly structured
• Color: rich, vibrant forest green
• Scent: like moist, pure forest air - earthy, spicy, fresh

After the infusion:

• Color: soft yellow-green with light golden reflections
• Fragrance: balanced and subtle, a hint of spring after the rain
• Taste: balanced, almost floatingly light - with an interplay of fine sweetness, subtle tartness and a clear, lingering umami echo
