Hamasa Shoten - Organic sencha green tea no.80 100g

Green tea

This is an organic sencha grown in the harsh natural conditions at an altitude of 400 meters, at the foot of Mount Kirishima in Kagoshima Prefecture. Sencha is the most widely consumed green tea among Japanese teas. It is produced by harvesting the young shoots that bud between spring and summer, then steaming, rolling, and drying them. Compared to teas from standard plantations, this sencha stands out for its wild flavor, rich in taste and aroma.

The harvest period for young shoots is indicated by a number ranging from No. 50 to No. 150. The higher the number, the earlier the leaves were harvested. No. 50 is characterized by a pleasant taste and a roasted flavor, while No. 80, No. 100, and No. 150 offer an increasingly pronounced umami flavor.
