100 grams of delicious, deep steamed sencha (called fukamushicha) from the Chiran Village of Kagoshima, made only with the naturally sweet, bright green Saemidori cultivar. Harvested in the spring, enjoy a deep, rich flavor with its beautiful green color. Yamane-en tea master, Shiobara-san, highly recommends this single cultivar fukamushicha as he personally worked with the farmers in Kyushu to give it life as a commercial product at the same quality level as competition grade tea.
