WITH YOU - Organic Sencha -Pre Order
Finding a truly exceptional tea means stepping away from the mass production that dominates 80% of the market, and into the mindful, intentional world of artisans like Mr. Saito. For him, cultivating this rare N-15 cultivar is a profound act of presence, a gift of patience shared through tea. On his steep, mist-shrouded mountain plot 400 meters above sea level, he chooses not to rush or force nature, leaving the leaves completely unshaded to let the harsh alpine climate and natural environment speak for themselves. This deep mindfulness carries into the processing room, where the leaves receive a gentle, traditional 20-second light steam (Asamushi) and a precise final bake, preserving the elegant, unbroken needles exactly as nature intended. When you brew it, you aren't just drinking tea; you are receiving the present of his intention - a stunningly clear, pale-golden liquor that eschews heavy, savory "umami bombs" for a bright, clean, and deeply aromatic profile alive with crisp mountain air and sweet, vegetal notes.
