DESCRIPTION
JAKU has low bitterness, floral high notes and a delicate, silky texture. As the flavour develops the floral sweetness gives way to soft, creamy umami undertones. Its finish is smooth and clean. Overall a gentle, refreshing flavour profile.
Produced by four friends, Yoshitaka, Shinya, Kosuke and Kazuhiko, young tea farmers all descending from established tea-growing families in and around Sonogi.
Grown on picturesque rolling hills facing Ōmura Bay, these tea plants have a constant, steady flow of cool air as they grow. This slows growth and results in a beautiful matcha with low bitterness, floral high notes and delicate silky texture.
JAKU is crafted with precision from cultivars Tsuyuhikari and Saemidori where this small production from Nagasaki employs a traditional style brick furnace to dry the tencha.
This exceptional blend marries the vibrant, gentle sweetness of Saemidori with the light robust umami of Tsuyuhikari.
