Overview
Clean and balanced, this shincha presents the brightness of freshly harvested tea. Unlike most Ujicha which is umami-focused, this tea is much lighter, preserving spring aromas. While Uji may be the most famous tea region in Kyoto, most Ujicha is actually grown in the neighbouring town of Wazuka, which produces almost 50% of Kyoto's tea. Dating back over 800 years, tea from Wazuka is known for its deep umami flavour. Producer: Rishouen Region: Wazuka, Kyoto Cultivar: Meiryoku Harvested: April 2025 Picking: Handheld Machine
