A kabusecha from one of the best Japanese tea producing regions, the Chiran district of Kagoshima Prefecture. In 2017, tea coming from the Southern neighbouring areas of Kagoshima Prefecture; Chiran, Ei, and Kawanabe valleys was unified and branded as "Chiran-cha". In general, chiran cha has received numerous recognitions from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Prize at the National Tea Fair.

Shaded for about 2 weeks, this Kabusecha (coming from Saemidori and Yutaka Midori cultivars) has a balanced, savory flavor when steeped at low temperatures and a full body astringency at higher temperatures. While not as powdery as a fukamushi or deep-steamed tea, this tea leaf has been steamed for a slightly longer time than many senchas or kabusechas. The larger amount of smaller leaf bits create a greener liquid, and faster steeping. Depending on your water and strength preference, you may even want to reduce the steeping time.
