Fresh, native tea leaves picked among the mountains of Ehime.Since the 13th century discovery of wild tea leaves in the eastern mountains of Ehime, the region of Shingu has been home to some of Japan\'s finest green teas, including this popular Kiwa No Sono loose blend from Wakisei Chaba. With the sunny, cool mountain climate and green mudstone rich soil providing the perfect haven for tea growth, this fragrant, well-balanced green tea originates from Yabukita seeds specially planted in the area, producing a tea with potent, earthy aromas and sublime, bittersweet flavour. Nurtured with mountain grass fertiliser, this regional tea naturally cultivated over long periods to create a premium, regional blend.
