DescriptionA Tealyra North America exclusive, this rare Tencha Mimoto is produced organically in historical Kyoto, Japan. This is an incredible, fine deep emerald beauty. Tencha Mimoto is matcha in its un-powdered state. In processing tencha green tea, the leaves are shaded for 2-3 weeks before harvesting, afterward they are steamed, and dried without rolling- rather different than most traditional Japanese green teas. This tea is very nutritious, rich in theanine, producing a dark, rich infusion. Tencha Mimoto doesnt have the usual grassy astringent "green" flavor, but a deep sweet, and rich flavor. Non offensive and neutral, though it isn't weak in any way- it is a green tea to convince even green tea opponents of its wonders! Definitely a must-try for all genuine tea enthusiasts! |
