The saemidori kabusecha (lightly shaded green tea) grown and processed by the Shimizu family of Suizawa, Mie Prefecture. This saemidori kabusecha has many fans for its bright green color and rich flavor. Kabusechas are a fantastic in-between tea (i.e., in-between sencha and gyokuro) and you wouldn't want to miss out on trying one from the Marushige Shimizu Tea Farm, that is their specialization. A note about the cultivar: The Saemidori cultivar (which means "clear green") was first cross-bred in 1969 between asatsuyu, the "natural gyokuro" for its rich umami flavors, and the popular yabukita which balances flavor with great crop yield and resistance to disease.This cultivar is becoming more familiar and liked by Japanese tea lovers. Grown as a kabusecha, you'll find a rich and balanced umami taste, grassy with a citrus-like astringency.
