This Sencha Yabukita comes from chemical-free farmers in Kirishima, where volcanic soils have naturally nourished the tea plants for six generations. Machine-harvested in spring, its emerald green leaves reflect the freshness of this cultivar, the most widely grown in Japan. In the cup, a refreshingly crisp liquor with beautiful clarity reveals naturally sweet vegetal notes of sap, wildflowers, clover, and lamb's lettuce, alongside buttery nuances and pine nut.
