Suikyo Asamidori Sencha (organic) - Lightness from the mountains of Nara
If you don't just drink tea, but experience it, then Suikyo Asamidori Sencha invites you to enter into a special dialog with nature. Its name - Asamidori, "delicate green" - says it all: a harmonious, restrained organic Japanese sencha that doesn't have to be loud with its subtle nuances to have a long-lasting effect.
Made in the tradition-rooted but deliberately non-conformist Suikyo tea garden near Nara, this sencha is a small rebellion against industrial standards - realized with gentleness and precision. Fumiaki and Luna, the two brains behind Suikyo, have dispensed with the usual final heating (Hiire) for this tea. The result: a fine, fresh taste with lightness and an elegant interplay of mild sweetness and subtle astringency - without the umami that dominates some senchas.
The cultivars used - Oku Midori and Yabukita - were steamed flat and then dried particularly gently. This also makes this tea ideal for infusions at a slightly higher temperature - ideal if you are looking for depth without compromising on bitterness.
What makes this Sencha so special is not just the way it is processed, but also the way it is grown: it is fertilized exclusively with wild grasses grown on the farm. This form of farming not only promotes soil health, but also the character of the tea - complex, clear and natural. Just like the terroir of Suikyo's gentle tea mountains, which respect people and plants equally.
A tea for all those who seek depth in silence - and are open to subtle differences.

More than a tea garden - the Suikyo focus on soil depth
The Suikyo tea garden is more than just a place - it is a concept, a way of thinking in cycles. The tea bushes are rooted in carefully planted plots that deliberately distinguish between "tea mountains" and "tea gardens". Tea mountains retain their natural topography, are not leveled and are home to mishou plants grown from seed with a strong root system. These tap into deeper layers of soil - a natural way to bring depth and minerality to the taste.
The shallow tea gardens, on the other hand, are cultivated with humus-rich soil - cuttings thrive here, fed with the finest green manure made from grass and leaves harvested by the growers themselves. These contrasts come together in Suikyo Asamidori Sencha to create a taste that speaks of balance and respectful interaction with nature.
