This is undoubtedly the finest Japanese Sencha we have tasted to date. A prime example of what makes first flush sencha so sought after: a fine delicate vegetal aroma and taste, followed by an almond finish. Sweet and delicate yet complex vegetal, oceanic and satisfying umami flavor. This organic Asamushi Sencha known in Japanese as “Asamushi-cha”. It is lightly steamed green tea, much shorter than typical sencha. Different levels of steaming are different “mushi”s. Lighter steaming (30 seconds) will result in a lighter, cleaner, more delicate, more astringent flavor, as well as a lighter color. Do not use water over 75C or the flavor profile will be vanished.

It is a rare and special tea that comes from land tradtionally associated with coffee. Los Andes is just such a tea, grown on a Guatemalan nature reserve that rests in the shadows of the volcano of Atitlán. The nature reserve is home to abundant plants and wildlife, including Guatemala's national bird, the Resplendent Quetzal.

There’s nothing quite so comforting as the scent and taste of warm, spiced apples on a cold fall day. Whether in a pie, a sauce, or contained in a mug as delicious organic tea, these scent and flavor sensations have become synonymous with comfort for much of the world’s northern populations.As proven by their long-term mythical associations – like Eve and the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, for instance, generally associated in Western Thought with a round, red apple – apples have been gracing humanity’s tables in many forms for thousands upon thousands of years...
