From Chiran area, Kagoshima prefecture, the leaves of this high-grade sencha are harvested in April. Four different cultivars are blended for making this sencha: yutaka midori, yabukita, sae midori and asatsuyu, making it the flagship of Shimono-en.

It is therefore truly unique and exceptional, and this shines through its tastes and fragrance that are perfectly well balanced. This sencha is also visually appealing with its beautiful light green color. You will appreciate its freshness and powerful umami, but also its remarkable sweetness. It will give you the same pleasure after a second and even a third brew.

Production: 

Thanks to its southern location, Chiran enjoys the earliest first tea picking of the country, with delicious “Shincha” (new tea) available already from March.Supported by a clement weather and the proximity of several active volcanoes, the tea grown in this area has a distinctive quality that is celebrated all throughout Japan. Several cultivars that are very sensitive to cold can be grown successfully only in that area. In a general way Chiran Teas tend to be more sweet compared to other regions.
