A blend of five tencha from Wazuka and Jōyō, yielding a smooth and creamy tea, great for daily usucha, keiko, or lattes. The blended tencha is rounded out by gentle drying and heating over binchotan charcoal, a traditional practice now almost extinct in Japan. The name Ato-Mukashi means "Later Pickings" (後昔), an old traditional name originally used for tencha picked in the two weeks following the 88th night of Spring.
