Kagoshima, 2010 Spring First Flush: Organic Nishi Sencha

Crushed bamboo adds a source of natural carbohydrates, sugars, starches and other consumables that the composting bacteria can eat and transform into a useable, naturally rich source of nitrogen making chemical fertilizers unnecessary in Nishi-san’s fields. Bamboo is believed to enrich the umami and sweet flavor of tea.
