The Maehara Tea Farm is a vertically integrated, family-operated farm located in the southern Japanese prefecture of Kagoshima. Their fukamushicha is a green tea that has been steamed for longer than usual ("deep-steamed") to create an opaque, deep green, richly flavorful tea, though the leaves themselves are broken apart as a result of the long steaming time. Most recently, they won the Kagoshima 2021 tea competition for regular sencha (award pictured in the product photo). Ingredients: green tea Net weight: 100 grams (original bag), 20 grams (Yunomi bag) Cultivar: Blended. The family raises dozens of cultivars as they are a propagator. They blend the leaves together to make their two fukamushicha retail products. Harvest: Spring Region: Chiran, Kagoshima
