Organic Kagoshima-Sencha- and organic Fukamushi-Tea Premium
A mainland shaped by volcanic mountains, while the rushing current of the Pacific laps the outer borders - this is how one could describe the prefecture of Kagoshima, whose natural features create the conditions for a nutrient-rich soil.
Clear and clean natural water reservoirs
The tea plants of ORGANIC KOGOSHIMA-SENCHA-TEA PREMIUM require large amounts of water for their natural development. From a depth of 144 meters, water is pumped for irrigation, which has been filtered through several layers of volcanic rock and enriched with minerals such as calcium, magnesium and sulfates. The altitude of the cultivation areas with the typical temperature fluctuations ensure a sweetish, mild taste that knows how to convince with unique enjoyment.
The tea fields of our ORGANIC KAGOSHIMA-SENCHA-TEA PREMIUM are a little higher up. The cultivar, which trades under the name "Chiran Tea" in Japan, is a regional specialty. A few days before harvest, the plants are covered over a large area with fabric tarpaulins, on the one hand to retain heat, but on the other hand to reduce direct exposure to sunlight. Recognisable by the dark green, this extra effort by the tea farmers is rewarded with a high proportion of umami and the resulting sweetness. A special refinement process ensures aromatic depth.
