Organic Japanese Sencha (Uji, Kyoto)
Organic Japanese Sencha (Uji, Kyoto)
We are pleased to be able to offer this level of Sencha. A first time offering from Uji, Kyoto!
The leaves have a lovely shiny bluish tint and a light seaweed type umami. This is due to the shading process which is short and from the cultivar: Okumidori/Yabukita Blend. There is also a delightful nutty aftertaste that lingers with no bitterness. A wonderful mouth feel!
