  Tenryu Sencha
 
A sophisticated, single bush sencha, hand picked in a family owned garden. This tea was named after the Tenryu River that flows by the mountain side estate. The deep emerald stalks brew up a surprisingly delicate gold-green liquor. The aroma is sweet and savory. Notes of toasted rice quicken the appetite. Light and ephemeral with a slender body, there was a velvet texture that clung to the palate. A floral bittersweet edge rounded out the flavor profile.
Although many of our teas are limited production, we cannot guarantee future harvests of this particular sencha. With an aging teamaster and a younger generation unwilling to continue the work, the estate's future is in doubt. So we're enjoying what we can and we hope you have a chance to try this very special tea.
