Light steamed Yumesuruga sencha from Shizuoka
Unfortunately, this fantastic green tea has sold out for 2020 :(
This light steamed sencha green tea is produced by a well-known tea master located in Tenryu, Shizuoka and of course is harvested from the first round of young leaves. This is a rather rare batch and probably won't last very long. Yumesuruga is a somewhat new clone which was registered 2014 and has only becoming available recently. This sencha was harvested from three year old young tea bushes, it's leaves are beautifully twisted needle shaped. It has a crispy nutty overtone, rich, silky mouthfeel. As with most light steamed green teas, some of the taste is subtle but it has a nice umami and lingering aftertaste. This tea is a masterpiece light steamed green tea.

From Shizuoka, a unique breed of Japanese green tea grown organically. A first rate, first harvest, deep steamed green tea, the high quality is obvious from the first sip.

Harvested from the first round of young spring leaves, it is certified organic. Nitrogen flushed and vacuum packaged, as fresh of an organic green tea as you can get.
