ORIGIN:
Country : Japan

Harvest : Harvested early May, Spring crop
Singularities : A Japanese green tea is called Fukamushicha when it undergoes prolonged steaming during manufacture process. The leaves are therefore broken and the color of the liquor more intense. Here, we have a blend of the Yutakamidori and Kanayamodori cultivasr. The ancient volcanoes present in the region provide fertile soil, which with a dense mist and significant temperature variations contribute to the quality of the teas produced.

Our expert impressions : It had been a while since I wanted to integrate a Fukamushicha into the DAMMANN FRÈRES Japanese tea range. Here, the broken leaves are not a criterion of non-quality but the demonstration of a different manufacture process. It results a slightly more powerful liquor with a more intense color.
