With its sharp astringency and refreshing bitterness, 035 Sakimidori Sonogi is a tea that perfectly suits the early summer, complemented by the vibrant green hue of its leaves.
The mellow mouthfeel, characteristic of "Guricha" tea that is carefully steamed, is also a highlight. Enjoy it together with a cherry pie topped with sweet and tangy cherries and whipped cream for a refreshingly uplifting experience.
