One of the newest cultivars in Saitama Prefecture, the Yumewakaba (ゆめわかば, dream young leaf) is a cultivar developed by the Saitama Prefectural Agriculture and Forestry Research Center. The uniqueness of this cultivar lies in its aroma. Once steeped, you will sense a soft and gentle smell. At Yoshino Tea Garden, we recommend this tea more as a occasional tea that will delight you over an everyday, go to tea. We hope that you may enjoy this tea with your friends, when you have guests at home! Steeping Notes Tea: 5 grams. Time: 60 sec. Water: 70C/175F, 200 ml.
