Sen Cha Yabukita, Single Cultivar Japanese Green Tea

Yabukita is the incomparable Camellia sinensis cultivar that won over Japan in competitions time and again with scores of 10/10 across the board. The dark green leaves are plucked in early spring and are deeply steamed in the Fukamushi style producing a bright emerald liquor with a lush grassy aroma and hints of osmanthus and shitake mushroom. The taste is sweet and slightly grassy with light vegetal notes reminiscent of spring for a full bodied, buttery mouthfeel.  A subtle hint of nori seaweed contributes to the rich umami and brine flavor found submerged in this broth-like liquor leading to a long pleasant finish. With each sip, a consistent elegant creaminess glides across your palate and offers an almost meditative drinking experience. Grown in Kakegawa, Japan, this 100% Yabukita Sen Cha is from a designated Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Site (GIAHS) where sustainable farming practices create a symbiosis between human agriculture and the local flora and fauna.  Ingredie
