Yabukita Asamushi Sencha is made from Yabukita, the most widely grown tea cultivar in Japan — accounting for over 70% of the country's tea production. If you've had Japanese green tea before, there's a good chance it was Yabukita. It's considered the classic, quintessential taste of sencha.
What makes this one different: It's grown in the mountainous region of Kirishima, cultivated with care by two sisters. The growing environment also means more fibrous leaves, which means this tea can handle hotter brewing water (80°C/176°F) than most sencha without turning bitter.
Flavour: Lightly steamed to preserve the leaf shape, this sencha brews to a bright yellow hue with a clean, refreshing bitterness balanced by a subtle hint of sweetness.
