This Japanese Sencha Asanoka tea is a premium green tea grown according to organic farming principles by an independent producer on the island of Kyushu, in Kagoshima prefecture to be precise.
It comes from the Asanoka cultivar, which gives the tea fresh, lively vegetal notes, a cereal pole and buttery notes with an iodized finish, typical of Japanese primeurs.
Arnaud DHENIN met the producer, Mr. Shutaro Hayashi, during his trip in April 2019, and was able to discuss his biodynamic growing methods. The plantation has been family-run for 3 generations, handed down from father to son.
This tea undergoes a short steeping process, giving it long, pretty needle-shaped leaves of light and dark jade color.
Unlike the 2023 vintage, this year's harvest was shaded for 10 days. The Asanoka 2024 is full-bodied, with a beautiful aromatic complexity balanced between the vegetal, iodized, cereal and cooked vegetable poles typical of this primeur, in all subtlety. It should be infused at least 3 times.
A rich, well-balanced Japanese primeur, with a sweet flavor and a long finish. A magnificent discovery.

Un de mes thés japonais préférés; d'une grande douceur, complexe, notes beurrées et iodées que j'apprécie beaucoup; l'étuvage court permet de profiter de la belle forme des feuilles. Un régal mutisensoriel.
