Tea Story

In Kirishima, a mountainous area of Kagoshima, tea is grown under conditions shaped by volcanic soil, frequent mist, and steady rainfall. The region produces teas that are often softer and more aromatic than those from more northern areas.

This tea is cultivated by the Kawaguchi sisters, who work with small plots and careful timing. Before harvest, the bushes are lightly shaded, reducing direct sunlight for a short period. This shifts the balance of the leaves, increasing sweetness while keeping the tea light and fresh.

After picking, the leaves are lightly steamed (asamushi) — a shorter steaming process compared to deeper styles. This preserves the structure of the leaf and keeps the infusion clear and transparent, both in flavor and appearance.

The result sits between styles: more open and floral than typical kabusecha, but with a soft umami depth that comes from shading. It is not dense or heavy, but steady — defined by clarity rather than intensity.
