Japanese teas: Spring harvest

In Japan early teas are considered as rare and precious as gold. Needle shaped leaves evokes a whole aromatic world: warm herbs that have just been crushed, iodizied notes reminiscent of seaweed... Shincha with their tiny and wonderfully scented leaves, are the most subtle. Sweetness is their dominant flavor.
