Uroncha Fukuoka Sayamakaori Ichibancha - Japanese Kyushu Whole Leaf Oolong | 50g

Product detailed description

Sayama Kaori is the name of a Japanese tea cultivar, meaning "fragrance from Sayama." Its distinctive aroma sets it apart from other cultivars, offering notes of ponderosa pine, pea shoots, and a subtle hint of pumpkin seeds. While these unique characteristics are most pronounced in green teas, they also translate beautifully into more oxidized or lightly roasted oolongs and black teas, where the overall fragrance and flavor reveal delicate sweet notes of flowers and baked fruit. As many experienced tasters have noted, the scent and taste of this tea transport you to early summer in Sayama—when the morning dew, heavy with grass and flowers, begins to rise under the warmth of the sun. The tea’s lingering finish leaves that vivid memory in both your mouth and mind long after the last sip.
