Pairing: sushi, steamed vegetables, or citrusy salads
A full and vibrant fukamushi sencha with a fresh aroma, juicy body, and powerful umami. The long steaming gives this Yame tea a deeply saturated, vibrant green colour. Hatsune (初音), means 'first warbling', referring to the calls of the Bush Warbler and Warbling White-eye (who appears on this tea's artwork), whose songs herald the arrival of spring.
