Half-shadow tea from Japan. Inspires mind and palate. Asuka is the name of the old Japanese imperial city and also means "flying bird". The leaves of this tea have a rich dark green colour. Dark golden, slightly cloudy nuances appear in the cup. Covered with bast mats before the end of the growth phase, this green tea, which is finished growing in the shaddow, acquires its extraordinary taste: slightly nutty notes, a lovely sweetness and pleasant freshness.
