The rare pan-fired processing of this kamairicha from Kumamoto gives Takamura its savoury and nutty flavour.
Though older than sencha, kamairicha makes up less than 0.5% of Japanese tea produced today. This traditional tea is smooth and easy drinking, with less astringency than most sencha.

Smooth!
While I love Japanese green tea in all its expressions, I have never fully understood why so little of it is processed as kamairicha when the pan-firing makes for a very smooth infusion. This blend from Kumamoto is a case in point.
