2025 first harvest 

It took Takaki san over four years of hard work to be able to harvest the first leaves of his Japanese white tea HAKUSEI. As soon as we had our first sip, HAKUSEI became one of the all-time favorites of our team.

A strong umami presence, followed by a reserved bitterness, will leave you with an unforgettable impression. Both are later overtaken by a gentle and long-lasting sweet and slightly floral finish. Takaki san’s preferred preparation parameters highlight the delicate balance between the tea’s dynamic umami, vegetal characteristics, and balance of sweetness and bitterness.

This tea is rare not only because it is white tea, but also because the trees were carefully bred by Takaki san to create a unique increase in the number of produced leaves.
