This lightly roasted sencha blend's name means "deep roast aroma." Shinko's fresh nutty body and salty sweet undertones taste of toasted oat and fresh cut wheat, in a perfectly baked pastry crust. Try iced.
Ingredients
A blend of hand-plucked Yabukita, Okuhikari, Shizuka 7132, and original Japanese varietals grown and roasted by Konishi-san, a small tea farmer in Shizuoka, Japan.
