A single cultivar Yabukita sencha from farmer Konagai Chizuko and her husband, this light-steamed sencha has a light, delicate flavor and aroma with strong but not overwhelming hints of toastiness.

Kiyosawa Village is the old name for the this mountainous region of the Aoi Ward, Shizuoka City, and means "pure river". The Kuromata River 黒俣川 runs through the area. Ingredients: Green tea Cultivars: Yabukita Harvest: May Notes: Pesticides are used only after the spring harvest has finished during the summer months when insects are more active.
