Coming from well-known tea master Uejima-san in the famous tea-producing region Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture this Sencha has been created from a blend of yabukita and tsuyuhikari cultivars.

Yabukita is a well balanced cultivar known for its mellow umami and gentle sweetness with pleasant subtle astringency. The tsuyuhikari ( meaning 'dew light') is one of our most popular shincha varieties and adds a beautiful bold umami flavour to this blend.
