Preparation guidelines: Allow 1 teaspoon of tea for each 1.5 dl of water and one more for the teapot. Bring the water to the boil and then let it cool down to 70°C. Pour and leave it to infuse for 3 mins. Sieve and serve. Suitable for 3-4 infusions.
Sencha from the region of Kirishima city (Kagoshima Prefecture) harvested in May, originating from the Sakimidori cultivar. Kirishima means island of fog, a weather condition highly typical for this area due to the volcano of the same name. The tea gardens lie directly beyond the volcano, hence are often veiled in mist in the morning and evening. Honoca in Japanese means ‘smooth’, a quality reflected in the tea’s taste profile. Both the aroma and taste of the infusion are pleasantly sweet, reminiscent of tropical avocado.
