Nitor Summer Kamairicha

The aroma of this kamairicha has fresh hay and a nutty toastiness, offering thickness and fullness in the mouth with a crisp vegetal aftertaste.

Kamairicha (釜炒り茶) or “pan-roasted tea” is heat-treated in a pan to prevent the leaves from oxidizing, just as Sencha would be steamed. Kamairichas are generally brighter and fresher and less dry and marine than senchas.
