While many teas tend to be characterized by their stringiness or bitterness, Shimizu-san's Kasumino is characterized by its fruity and refreshing aroma. This aroma is a product of the process of ichoka, in which the harvested tea leaves are withered to enhance their scent. If you would like to enjoy the rich taste of Sayama-cha (tea originating from Takahagi, Hidaka city area in Saitama prefecture) but would also like to appreciate the process of ichoka, the Kasumino tea is the one to try. This blend comes from three tea gardens in the vicinity of Bizenya and is also a blend of cultivars: yabukita, sayamamidori, saemidori and fukumidori. Processing Withering in the sun. After 30 minutes the leaf starts to blacken with enzymatic oxidization creating a floral aroma. Sencha processing Finishing - sorting out stems and fannings, including green-roasting using an old-style drying machine. The hot air used in to dry out the unrefined tea for long-term storage also adds a little toastiness to the fruity floral aroma.
