Mr. Nishi-san was an inspiring pioneer of organic tea farming in Japan. Rishi Tea has a private contract-growing relationship with the Nishi family, and together we established a USDA-NOP Organic Certified tea project in Kagoshima, Japan. The Nishi family's teas are exquisite due to Mr. Nishi-san's expertise in organic tea cultivation and aracha processing. The Nishi family farm takes great care to nurture Yabukita and other premier tea varietals, ensuring that Rishi Tea Organic Sencha is superb year after year. Our First Flush Sencha from the Nishi tea farm is a light-steamed type (asamushi) from the first harvest of spring when the highest quality tea is produced. Its unique flavor comes from a special blend of unique Japanese tea bush varietals cultivated for us according to strict EU and USDA-NOP Organic certified standards. Tasting Notes: Refreshing and brisk with a pleasant bitter-sweetness, deep umami flavor and a greenish-golden infusion color
