Kai Tea Garden Shaded Kamairicha Sawayaka – 2024 National Competition Silver Winner

Description

Also available in an Engawa Gift Can format.

2024 National Tea Competition 2nd Place winner in the Kamairicha category (Ministry of Agriculture Farming Division Manager Award 農林水産省農産局長賞) – this tea from renowned tea farm Kai Tea Garden was shaded for an ultra delicate leaf and lightly pan-roasted before rolling and drying.

Unlike regular Kamairicha, competition grade / shaded kamairicha is light and delicate, rather than full-bodied and toasty. This creates a curled, sencha-like deep green leaf.
