Coal roasted teas are sweeter and tastier than usual. The coal roasting method helps suppress caffeine and tannins. It results in a tea less astringent and bitter than Sencha.

A light roast over charcoal offers this tea a more delicate flavor. A delicate scent tickles your taste buds, and a gentle aroma pervades your mouth and lingers.
