Description
This ichibancha is the work of Mister. Shoji, a remarkable grower who produces the tea using the yabukita cultivar. The shaping of the leaves is outstanding; they are delicately rolled into needles of a very similar size.
A sophisticated spring tea which reveals complex vegetal, vanilla and marine notes, alongside a pleasantly smooth texture. An outstanding Grand Cru!
