SENCHA SAEMIDORI KAGOSHIMA ORGANIC CERTIFIED

Sencha produced in April 2023 in Kirishima in Kagoshima prefecture in southern Japan. This tea is produced with the saemidori cultivar, a type of tea plant that produces leaves with round and umami flavors.

The Cultivar: Saemidori is a Japanese green tea cultivar. It was developed and registered in Japan in 1990. "Saemidori" literally means "fresh green", which reflects the bright, fresh color of the leaves of this cultivar.

Saemidori is mainly used to produce high quality tea, including sencha and gyokuro. It is appreciated for its fresh aroma, mild flavor and pronounced vegetal character. The leaves of Saemidori are a bright, shiny green, which visually distinguishes them from other tea cultivars.

This cultivar is grown in different regions of Japan, but it is particularly associated with Kagoshima Prefecture, where it is widely grown. Kagoshima's climatic conditions, with its abundant sunshine and rich soils, are favorable for the cultivation of Saemidori.

Due to its delicate flavor and growing popularity, Saemidori has become one of the most popular Japanese green tea cultivars both in Japan and abroad.
