NISHI CHA
Thé vert du Japon
Jardin Premier*
Here is one of the most sought after Senchas from Japan, crafted with an attention to detail by a family of three brothers who count themselves among the most experienced and well-known planters in the Land of the Rising Sun. Cultivated on Mount Kirishima, on the island of Kyushu, this rare and precious tea is plucked by hand only once a year and reserved exclusively for Mariage Frères. Its exceptional quality and smooth flavour make it a jewel of the ‘Illuminating Teas’.
Dried leaves: The bright, handsome and lustrous leaves exhale a fruity aroma of lychee and candied persimmon.
Infused leaves: The finery of jade unleashes notes of sweet magnolia flower and wild strawberry.
Liquor: The liquor with emerald reflections resembles nectar. Besides hints of bamboo resin and candied angelica, the umami texture resonates with a tone of sumptuous white apricot.
Velveteen from the island of Kyushu.
