Description

2024 First Harvest

MITSUMI is a stunning example of a deep-steamed (fukamushi) sencha made by Nagayama san in Chiran. A first-harvest shincha that showcases the beauty of an early-picked tea.

Made with a blend of the Yutaka Midori and Yabukita cultivars, this sencha has a nice balance of light aromatic and vegetal characteristics. Notes of bean sprouts and watercress are accented by notes of wildflowers and kumquat peel.

This tea is a wonderful daily drink or a refreshing afternoon brew.

Cold-Brewable

Summer’s coming so cold-brewed this sencha to achieve lower acidity and found it to have a subtle fruity sweetness, both in taste and aroma, and less bitter. Very refreshing for the heat with the health benefits of green tea with a hint of natural sweetness. Did not try brewing the traditional way with heat.

Very pure taste

I really like this tea. It has a very subtle and pure taste. You can brew it several times and each time it is delicious.

Favorite fukamushi

Love the deep flavor of this fukamushi. Surprisingly sweet--almost like a gyokuro--but still distinctively sencha.
