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.

Mitsumi 2024 Shincha review

The high theanine content makes Mitsumi a go-to tea for me at work and before meditation for calm focus. For its desirable effects, good value, and nice caffeine kick, I give it 5 stars. (The flavor chart shows this to be a low caffeine tea BTW.) As for flavor, I've had mixed results, sometimes great and occasionally not so great. Have not had good luck with 2nd infusions. Still, Mitsumi will always be on my reorder list as it is great for the price. For an outstanding flavor experience, do try this producer's Competition Sencha - Mitsue.

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.
