Soo Fukamushi Kabusecha

sea salt • white flowers • spinach

This tea was named Furusato no Hana 郷里の華 - hometown flowers. Shaded and deep steamed, it stands out because of its coexistence of boldness and delicacy.

This fabulous tea comes a family-run tea farm in Soo, on Japan's Kagoshima Island. Kabusecha greens are shaded for up to a week, to increase the roundness of flavour and umami of the tea, whilst 'fukamushi' means that the tea has gone through a longer steaming process than classical Japanese greens. The result here is a full-bodied, aromatic and juicy tea, which retains a pleasant lightness of character - it's maker, Mataki-san, named the tea Furusato no Hana, meaning 'flowers from my hometown'. A nostalgic name for a tea that you won't quickly forget.

The quality of this tea has been recognised with multiple awards, which we are sure you will agree it more than deserves. Also highly recommendable when brewed cold.
