Kagoshima Sencha Premium: A natural treasure from Japan's volcanic landscapes
In the middle of the picturesque prefecture of Kagoshima, shaped by majestic volcanic mountains and lapped by the surging Pacific Ocean, a special treasure of Japanese tea culture thrives. The unique geography and the mineral-enriched volcanic rock form the basis for the incomparable quality of Kagoshima Sencha Premium. This tea develops its characteristic taste naturally, a creation of nature and the dedicated care of the local tea farmers.
The secret of Kagoshima Sencha Premium
The tea plants need a constant supply of mineral-rich water to develop to their full potential. This is extracted from a depth of 144 meters and carefully filtered through layers of volcanic rock. A composition of calcium, magnesium and sulphates enriches the plants and gives the tea its unmistakable characteristics. The high altitudes of the growing region create ideal microclimatic conditions: The day-night temperature fluctuations support the development of a sweet, mild taste that delights connoisseurs all over the world.
Traditional craftsmanship and modern refinementThe Kagoshima Sencha Premium, known as "Chiran tea" in Japan, is a cultivar of this region. Shortly before the harvest, the tea farmers cover the plants with special tarpaulins to control the sun exposure and preserve the heat. This technique increases the umami content, which makes for a pleasantly sweet and full-bodied tea. An additional refinement process intensifies the aroma and depth of this tea, making every cup a unique taste experience.
