About this Product
A special sencha with smooth vibrant umami notes combined with a gentle sweetness.
Winner of the Gold Medal in the 2020 Paris Grand Prix Japanese tea selection.

They are a family run farming going for over a century with the current tea master Masahiro Kuma being the 3rd generation in the family tea farm and the head of operation Kazumi Nakatani a 4th generation!
