A tsuyuhikari cultivar kabusecha (lightly shaded green tea) grown and processed by the Shimizu family of Suizawa, Mie Prefecture. This tsuyuhikari kabusecha has a sweet taste at first, which is followed by a gentle bitter taste upon drinking. Kabusechas are a fantastic in-between tea (i.e., in-between sencha and gyokuro) and you wouldn't want to miss out on trying one from the Marushige Shimizu Tea Farm, that is their specialization. Note about the cultivar: The tsuyuhikari cultivar was developed in Shizuoka Prefecture. It is a crossbreed with a mother of “Shizu7132” and a father of “Asatsuyu”. This cultivar is characterised with its rich umami taste, fresh aroma, and is delicately floral.
