ORIENTAL LILY Sofu / Sofū 50g

Despite being a genuine sencha, this rare tea with Indian genes has a charm that transcends genres.

The floral scent and unique sweetness are reminiscent of fruity black tea and muscat-flavoured Darjeeling.

Like a late-blooming flower, it takes a while to show its true beauty, so please enjoy it after brewing it to maximize its original charm.

Although without doubt a solid Sencha, this rare tea demonstrates ambition way beyond its own genre. The floral notes and distinct sweetness, perhaps a gift from its partly Indian genome, are likely to carry one's thoughts toward fruity black teas, or perhaps even a muscatel Darjeeling. Like a late-blooming flower, this tea will reveal its true beauty over time, so allow it several infusions to fully enjoy it.
