Description:
Long time ago, Japanese green tea was made using the pan-firing method until the steaming process became popular (ca. 1738) and Sencha became the norm. Pan-fired green teas are characterized by mild nutty and roasted  flavours. The taste is light, refreshing and low in astringency. This Gokase Pan-fired Green Tea is hand-picked and made from Nagomi Yutaka cultivar (meaning peaceful and rich), used for high quality teas.
