This premium green tea uses 100% first-picked tea leaves from Kagoshima, blended with more than 50% of the highly rare “Kanayamidori” variety. Itoen’s original finishing method, the “New Post-Roast Aroma Enhancement Method,” draws out a pleasant aroma by adjusting heat processing based on leaf size, weight, and seasonal characteristics. The result is a deep green color, a sweet rising aroma, and a rich umami taste.
