Shincha Kirari 31
$36
This sencha is grown and harvested in the Enshu district of Shizuoka prefecture. The varietal, known as “Kirari 31,” was developed in 2015 in Miyazaki as a cross between Sakimidori and Saemidori varietals. The result of this hybridization is a tea prized for its rich mouthfeel and lack of bitterness.
Kirari is a very smooth sencha with soft umami and chlorophyll notes suspended in a viscous liquor that finishes with flowers as an aftertaste. It brews a glowing, opaque green looking a bit like high polyphenol olive oil and offers a nutritive kind of energy.
