#1278  Slightly sweet and subtly grassy, with unique earthy and herbal notes. Soft and smooth. Reminiscent of green tea.

Japanese Mulberry Leaves, also called Kuwa, come from the Yamanashi ­Prefecture. Cultivated at an altitude of 300 to 700 m, the resulting ­temperature differences are responsible for its ­characteristic flavor. The processing resembles the Japanese tea tradition of handpicking and using steam to stop oxidation. 

Available in 60-g package.
