For him, an "ecological conscience" is not just a commercial selling point, but means careful work to obtain high-quality tea with rich taste and full fragrance. Of course, his tea is steamed in the traditional manner so that the final product is beautiful leaves that are mostly unbroken.

This is a sencha made from the Yamakai cultivar, renowned for its strength and high quality, but also notorious for being difficult to work with.

Mr. Shigeta has no reason to be humble about the result! This sencha is deliciously scented with rustic, sweet fragrances, very dense but very natural. There are no artificial flavourings here.

Prepared a little on the strong side, the liquor also reveals great density, depth with natural scents, mellowness delicately offset by a note of light astringency. All of these fragrances create a delicious sweet length in the mouth that continues to delight the tastebuds long after the tea has been drunk.
