Shu Hari - Asahi

The variety commands the highest price among tencha varieties and ranks at the pinnacle of various tea competitions.
A variety selected by Mr. Hirano of Uji Village, Uji District. As an early-maturing variety with a short optimal harvesting period, it is difficult to expand its cultivation area. Even in Wazuka, Kyoto, the Asahi variety grown by top-class producer Mr. Hosoi is in a class of its own.
Enjoy its exceptionally vibrant, jade-like green color, refined deep umami that lingers elegantly, and exquisite aroma that slowly unfolds.
