If you are looking to intrigue your palate, give this subtle and sophisticated tea a try.

Winner of UK's "Great Taste" tea competition. Also, an excellent choice for serving on special occasions. 

To make Kamairi green tea, fresh leaves are dried after harvesting at 300 °C

Kamairi in Japanese means roasting in a pan. Fresh tea leaves are dried in heated iron pans immediately after harvest with repeated agitation for about 10 minutes. 

The tea maker keeps turning the leaves manually, observing the color and texture. Next, the leaves are rolled and dried in a four-step process. The process is called iriha-ki.

This time-tested Japanese technique enhances tea's savory (umami) content, yielding a complex flavor and rich taste.
