HOW TO ENJOY IT

This Jukusei Fukamushicha (aged deep-steamed green tea) transforms the fresh grassiness of ichibancha (first flush harvest)  into a bolder profile with a stronger astringency, making it an excellent choice for green tea lovers who enjoy a stronger taste. Its interesting profile matches amazingly with chocolate (especially the dark ones)!
