"Emerald Spring Peach" Saemidori Sencha Green Tea

Let the blend of peaches and green tea lift your morning spirits and elevate your next tea gathering.  Fresh peaches are sliced, dried and blended with our Emerald Spring saemidori sencha green tea for a taste that evokes a bright spring morning.  Saemidori means "light green" which represents the color of this tea's elixir.  This sencha is shade grown and lightly steamed (asamushi) in Miyazaki Prefecture on Kyushu Island, Japan's southernmost island.  Warm temperature days and low temperature nights area ideal growing conditions for the best teas.  Saemidori was developed in 1969 when Yabukita (Japan's most popular tea bush) was crossbred with Asatsuyu (a tea bush known as naturally grown Gyokuro).  Saemidori is rich with almost no bitterness and a delicate, fresh aroma.  Enjoy it as a warm tea or a cold infusion.  See Brewing Recommendations below.
