Grace and Glimmer Taste
Zairai Sencha
Zairai (native) tea amounts for only 1% of Japanese Tea cultivars. This crops grow from the native seed which has not been genetically bread or modified, having great resistance to insects and diseases without the need to use chemical fertilizers and pesticides.Many of the zairai tea plants are very old, hundreds of years in fact. Unless it’s an old zairai tea field, where the tea plants are regularly trimmed, they have grown into tea trees.
It is considered a ‘natural blend’ as flavor, aroma, shape and colour will be different precisely because the seed has not been cloned, and naturally having higher mineral content.
These crops are genetically close to the plants imported from China in the 14th century.
