Organic Kumamoto-Soyo-Sencha-Tea
Nutrient-rich soil and purest water result in it’s unmistakably clear taste
Organic Kumamoto-Soyo-Sencha-Tea Premium
The fields in which the tea plants of the KUMAMOTO-SOYO-SENCHA-TEE BIO thrive are on the south side of Mount Aso, at an altitude of 500 to 800 meters. The river Gokasegawa runs through the middle of the lush vegetation of the mountain. Its water is so pure that it has been consistently recognised for its high water quality by the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport for six years.
Purley organic
The proximity to the river promotes the formation of warm morning mist, which spreads over the fields early and, in interplay with sunlight, creates a unique environment. The haze, which protects the plants from UV rays in the early morning hours, promotes the theanine content and thus the sweet taste, while the midday sunlight creates healthy catechin. In this ideal environment, the tea plants can grow and mature in order to shine in aroma and taste after the harvest. This tea is also grown purely organically and is free from pesticides, genetic engineering and artificial fertilisers.
The nutrient-rich soil and the pure water, which both flow into this unmistakably clear taste of the KUMAMOTO-SOYO-SENCHA-TEA BIO, are of historical origin. The closeness to nature has always been a sacred asset for the inhabitants of this region, as the oldest Shinto shrine in Japan - built around 15,000 years ago - protects, in an animistic tradition, the natural composition of mountains and valleys.
