New 2024 harvest
This First Flush 2023 green tea comes from the "Tsuyuhikari" cultivar ("Tsuyuhikari" means "light of the dew"). It went through a long steaming process, which gave it its fresh vegetable notes, reminding those of steamed courgettes and green beans. The tea is full and with a pleasant umami feeling. It becomes more iodic from the second infusion. Unlike our other first flush japanese teas, Hikari is not shadowed during its growth, hence its smooth and sweet profile.
Arnaud Dhénin's verdict: "This year, there's a little more roasting, which brings pleasant cereal notes and a slight acidity that creates an impression of freshness, complemented by a light floral note. This tea brings a feeling of well-being from the very first sip. Drink it to dispel the fog of difficult mornings!"
Mr Henta grows this tea according to Organic Farming principles on Kyushu Island (South Japan). The tea trees are young, for the record Arnaud Dhénin helped planting them in 2018 (the plants were 2 years old back then).
