This ichibancha is crafted by Mr. Shoji, an exceptional tea grower who uses the Yabukita cultivar. The leaf shaping is remarkable—each one is delicately rolled into uniform, needle-like strands.
A refined spring tea with complex notes of fresh greens, vanilla, and a touch of the sea, all wrapped in a smooth, silky texture. A truly outstanding Grand Cru!
