When we first tasted this tea, we remember being quietly surprised to learn that there was such a Kohshun cultivar.

As the name suggests, this cultivar has a distinctive aroma and is often used for black and kettle-roasted tea. We had the impression that most sencha teas have a distinctly fresh, herbal aroma, but this "Kohshun" had a soft, milky sweetness. Even when brewed at high temperatures, this tea has almost no bitterness, and its volume increases. The sweet aroma enveloped my taste buds and filled my mouth with a rich and expansive flavor.

Maruhi Tea Factory, known for its aromatic teas such as black tea and oolong tea, stopped using chemical fertilizers and pesticides several years ago and switched to organic tea production to bring out the characteristics of each cultivar. Mr. Suzuki says that although farming work has become more complex, the aroma has improved dramatically over the past couple of years. The aroma of "Kohshun," which we also encountered for the first time, is still in the process of evolution. We can't take our eyes off this already delicious tea and wonder how it will change in the future.
