Issued from a family garden situated in Wazuka, at the foot of a mountain close to the imperial city of Kyoto, this blue tea is rare for Japan.
Presented in a Mariage Frères black pouch.
Description
This small plantation has cultivated tea since the Edo era, always respectful of nature, and has developed a unique savoir-faire enabling them to produce a blue tea in green tea country.
The young leaves are carefully worked by hand, allowing for a fine, controlled oxidation and rich aroma.
Dried leaves: The buds hemmed with bluish emerald exhale a scent of maple resin and roasted blue poppy seed.
Infused leaves: The intense aromatic character is accented with beautiful nuances of fragrant fern and blueberry jam.
Liqueur: Golden orange. A fragrance of roasted chestnut mingles with the delicacy of hazelnut nougat.
Imperial tea.
