GRAND CRU SMOKED

Matsumoto san Family has been producing tea in the Shizuoka region for several generations. Samurai, their ancestor, traded his sword for farming tools and started tea production. Today his descendant chooses to create a unique tea. That’s how, after green, black and oolong tea he created the first Japanese smoked teas, exclusively produced from Japanese wood, in condfidential quantity. Harvest: Hand-picked. Garden Details: 160 m altitude. Harvest Date: Spring. Particularity: This producer is the only one in Japan making smoked teas. This tea is made from the Yabukita cultivar. Expert’s Notes: A remarkable success! The result of outstanding mastery of the black tea smoking process, allowing subtle malty aromas to shine through.
