Tasting Notes | Freshness and sweetness come together with a subtle touch of umami for an exquisite balance, undisturbed by a pinch of bitterness.

This organic Kamaricha is the flagship product of Miyazaki Sabo. Picked at the end of May, during the first harvest, in Miyazaki prefecture, this premium tea is very rare. It is a blend of yabukita and another, much less known cultivar, kanaya midori.

Facing the Pacific Ocean, Miyazaki prefecture is known for its beautiful pristine beaches and its verdant and luscious mountains. It enjoys a mild climate. While it is not well known outside Japan for its tea, Miyazaki is actually the fourth tea-producing region of Japan. This area produces very high-quality tea. It is notably home to the exceptional and rare Kamairi-cha, made using a very special production technique (pan fry).

Pan-fried and not steamed, this is still very much a green tea, with all of its antioxidants. Its freshness and sweetness come together with a subtle touch of umami for an exquisite balance, undisturbed by a pinch of bitterness. Its low caffeine levels make this tea a perfect choice for a late-afternoon brew.

"The Philosophy of Tea is not mere aestheticism ... for it expresses conjointly with ethics and religion our whole point of view about man and nature. It is hygiene, for it enforces cleanliness; it is economics, for it shows comfort in simplicity rather than in the complex and costly; it is moral geometry, inasmuch as it defines our sense of proportion to the universe." - Kakuzo Okakura

Fantastic afternoon tea

Tea always arrives fast, well packaged and fresh. Flavor is always well described and this is no different. Refreshing with the lightest touch of umami.

Always excellent tea, always as described.
