ASA-MUSHI, light-steamed green tea.
The 88th night (八十八夜, Hachijuhachiya) from the first official day of spring, Risshun (立春), marks the traditional beginning of the shincha (first flush) picking season. Tea leaves picked in the two to three weeks following this day are the most highly prized in Japan.
Our Spring Midori offers a highly aromatic presence and powerful but elegant and well-rounded lingering sweetness. A much appreciated and excellent choice of gift, as well as for savoring at home.
- Brewing guidelines: 2 piled tsp. to 100-300 ml boiled water that has been cooled to 50˚C/122˚F and steeped for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Harvest: May, First Flush
