[PRE-ORDER] Marukyu Koyamaen Hatsu Enishi 初縁 Matcha (Summer Limited Edition)

This is a pre-order item with estimated shipping by late May. Orders containing this item may ship once all items are available. Marukyu Koyamaen Hatsu Enishi 初縁 is a summer limited edition matcha made from first-flush tea leaves grown slowly in shaded tea gardens. Freshly picked leaves are sent immediately for primary processing, where intense steam is used to halt oxidation and preserve the vivid character of new tea. The leaves are then dried into ara-tencha, the unfinished form of tencha used for matcha, before being refrigerated and later refined as needed. This careful process helps retain the freshness and seasonal brightness that give Hatsu Enishi its soft, lively character.
