和紅茶さえあかり

30g

The saeakari cultivar is relatively new, only being registered in 2011. It is a cross between Z1 and Saemidori and was developed to retain the bright colour of the saemidori plant while being resistant to the frost that may appear in cold growing regions.

Grown at high altitude this black tea is harvested from a single field and cultivar. This is a smooth and delicate black tea with a woody aroma and low astringency.

A note from Murakamien:  "Murakamien's tea is formulated in-house, mainly using organic fertilisers, and uses as few pesticides as possible. The deliciousness and freshness of the tea leaves is reflected in the taste of the tea. We take great care in cultivating tea trees, sparing no effort even in autumn and winter. The flavour of the fresh leaves comes out as is in the tea. Delicious tea comes from tea leaves. This is the belief of Murakamien."
