• Organic Kagoshima Sencha Yutakamidori

Organic sencha made entirely from the first flush of Yutakamidori in Kagoshima. Yutakamidori cultivar is one of the most well-known older cultivars of Japan which became very popular in Kagoshima. It thrives in the warmer climate of the southern island. It is one of the cultivars that is rich in catechin containing ECCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) which usually yields an astringent cup of tea with yellow liquor color.

However, thanks to advancements in tea production, such as deep steaming techniques and shading the tea bushes, Yutakamidori now yields a smoother, more vibrant cup. The infusion presents a lime-green liquor bursting with fresh, green flavors, a rich depth, and a mild astringent finish. This transformation in taste has made it a favorite amongst Kagoshima tea farmers and tea lovers alike.
