THE TRAILBLAZER 2026 Zairai

Seed-grown Sencha from Tamagawa, Shizuoka Prefecture

Seeds picked from a tea plantation with a strong fragrance were planted in 2019, and the leaves hand-picked from the resulting tea plants were then processed into a single product, resulting in a very interesting tea that exudes a never-before-seen aroma and flavor. This is a valuable product that raises expectations for the future of Japanese tea.
