This micro-lot is the first picked Shincha from Arita's Saemidori garden and is mid-steamed and lightly roasted to enhance the smooth taste and a deep emerald green infusion color.

The first flush of this one pours a brilliant emerald green that's almost too pretty to drink, and the mid-steam treatment really brings out that smooth, gentle character.

The mid-steaming and light roast give it a mellow roundness I wasn't expecting from a first pick, and the brew turns that gorgeous deep emerald in the cup. I've already gone through half the bag in three days.
