Description 2026 first harvest
SAWA is a beautiful representation of Kiya san’s craftsmanship. This kabusecha has deep-green, needle-shaped leaves, indicative of the shading process that this tea undergoes prior to harvesting.
The shading of this tea leads to more developed umami characteristics accented with notes of pine and narcissus.

best kabusecha?
So far my favorite kabusecha from Ikkyu. Rich flavor without being overpowering. Definitely the best to start with.
