"Minami Sayaka" is a rare green tea cultivar known for its exotic floral aroma, reminiscent of jasmine or gardenia — a fragrance present even in the freshly harvested leaves.
To enhance this unique characteristic, the tea undergoes a special process called "withering" (ichō), which brings out its elegant fragrance even more.
Brewed at higher temperatures like black tea, it reveals a toasty aroma and richness, while still delivering the umami and refined astringency unique to green tea.
It pairs beautifully with Western sweets such as chocolate and baked pastries.
