Single-Cultivar Sencha Kanaya Midori 1.0 LB LIMITED EDITION

Kanaya Midori, a cultivar renowned for its sweet aroma, draws its name from Kanaya, the area where this cultivar was developed at one of the most prominent tea research stations in Japan, as well as the hometown of Sugimoto Tea Company. With the perfect balance of bitterness, astringency and sweetness, Kanaya Midori delights the taste buds and is a wonderful treat for all tea drinkers. Its leaves are dark green and provide the brewed liquor with a vibrant light green color. The flavor is vegetal, with subtle hints of chard, and has a pleasantly milky mouthfeel.
