Organically grown and auspiciously prepared by Irie Toshiro, production is limited to less than 50 kilograms per year. His blue ribbon sencha kiwami is a rare expression of Japanese balance, purity, and refinement, respective of traditional Japan. It is deeply aromatic, with notes of persimmon, fresh nori, and pine nuts; described as an intoxicating and spatial experience, with rich umami lingering on the palate, long and resonant.
