Unique
Traditionally Steamed
Beautifully crafted and completely unique this tea is only produced in tiny quantities - just a few kilos a year. These precious leaves are steamed in the traditional Japanese style resulting in a succulent and extremely rich green tea.
Wonderful served hot or cold and particularly good over ice with honey and fresh mint. On the farm in Satemwa they often add a little Lemon Verbena to the pot and spoon of honey into the cup for a truly refreshing tea.
