This organically cultivated Tamaryokucha is grown and produced in the Prefecture Miyazaki on the Ky¯ush¯u Island. The name of this variety, which is only produced in relatively small amounts, clearly expresses its quality: Tama = gemstone/jewel | Ryoku = green | Cha = tea. Compared to the Sencha production, the Tamaryokucha retains its original appearance during the production process and reminds slightly of “Chun Mee” due to its mid-green, somewhat rougher, curled leaf. The scent is grassy and fruity and the cup offers hints of lime. Smooth, nutty flavors are accompanied by spinach-like notes and yield a vivid taste experience.
