Sencha Agata no Mori - 100g

Horii Shichimeien, founded in 1879, still operates the 600-year-old Okunuoyama Tea Garden. This garden is the only survivor of 7 historic tea gardens in Kyoto. Shunta Horii brought three of their teas to Denmark in connection with Sing Tehus' exhibition at Copenhagen Contemporary in the fall of 2024.

This sencha has a light and delicious taste, with an underlying sweet flavor note. It is made from tea leaves from Minami Yamashiro, a village in southern Kyoto. The tea is named after the Agata Shinto temple, which is located in front of the Horii family's tea shop.

When brewing Sencha Agata no Mori, it is recommended to use water at lower temperatures (around 60 degrees Celsius) to highlight the subtle nuances of the taste.
