SENCHA YABUKITA ORGANIC CERTIFIED 2024

Sencha produced in Kuma, Kumamoto in the south of Japan in April 2024. It is a classic sencha but of very good quality, without surprises, with lots of freshness and vegetality. Excellent value for money for a 1st harvest sencha, fresh and vegetal.

The cultivar: Yabukita is the most widespread cultivar in Japan. The flavors are vegetal, iodized, marine, with subtle notes of umami (sweet/bitter)

Brewing tips: This is a high-end tea and we strongly recommend respecting the basic dosages as well as using quality water to brew this tea.

Quality water will be very weakly mineralized water. Check the dry residue on the label of the water you wish to use, a value between 20 and 100mg/L will be suitable. That said, this is not an infallible rule, some waters at 130mg/L work well (Volvic) while others below 100mg/L have less good results. Quite famous and inexpensive water is the source of the Grand Barbier which you will find at Carrefour.

Brew small amounts of tea in a small container. The ideal would be a teapot between 20 and 30cl maximum. Place 5 to 8g of leaves for 1 minute of infusion with water at 70 degrees.
