 Naturally Grown Teas from Isshin-en, Miyazaki Prefecture

60g

Made from ichibancha, first flush tea leaves, this blended pan-fired green tea has been created by kamairi experts, Isshin-en. The name Tsuki no Shizuku Tokusen translates to 'Moonlight Drops' This tea has a wonderful "kama" toasted aroma with clean crisp mouthfeel and natural sweetness. 

Each year the farm harvests each of their cultivars, processing them individually into aracha. The cultivars are then tasted and blended with great care to ensure that the quality and flavour can be consistent year on year. 

Issin-en focuses on working with nature rather than against it. The teas are all grown with a deep respect for their surrounding environment and the biodiversity found around their tea fields.
