Kagoshima Kukicha First Flush - Japanese green tea from Kirishima
Green Tea Kagoshima Kukicha First Flush is a Japanese green tea from Kagoshima, grown in the area surrounding the Kirishima Mountains. Kukicha stands out because it uses the leaf stems and fine twigs of the tea plant, giving it a distinctive, refined character. This First Flush has a fresh, lightly sweet flavour with soft vegetal notes. The result is an approachable Japanese green tea with a lively, clear taste that never feels heavy. As is customary with Japanese green tea, the freshly harvested tea leaves and stems are steamed to quickly stop oxidation. This helps preserve the fresh, green aromas. The combination of the early harvest and Kukicha's characteristic profile makes this tea an appealing choice for lovers of fresh, refined Japanese green tea.
