This micro-lot of Yabukita Shincha is grown in the Kirishima mountains of Kagoshima, Japan. The Yaeyama family tea garden is situated at a higher elevation than most tea gardens in Kagoshima and benefits from mineral-rich soil that is unique to this region. Yabukita is one of the most widely used cultivars in Japanese tea farming, prized for its elegant balance and savory tasting notes. This year’s mid-steamed (chumushi) sencha is an exceptional example of Kirishima Mountain minerality, with deep umami, lasting rich sweetness, and a vivid green infusion.
