SENCHA YABUKITA ORGANIC CERTIFIED 2024

Cultivar: Yabukita is a variety of tea plant (Camellia sinensis) native to Japan. It is widely cultivated and used for the production of green tea, particularly sencha tea, which is one of the most popular forms of tea in Japan.

Yabukita was developed by a Japanese farmer named Yamamoto Kahei in the early 20th century. He crossed different varieties of tea plants to create a robust plant, adapted to the climatic conditions of Japan. Yabukita has proven to be a very successful cultivar due to its favorable agronomic characteristics and the quality of its tea.

Yabukita tea leaves have an elongated shape and a slightly rough texture. They produce a clear and aromatic brew with a smooth and balanced flavor. Yabukita is valued for its ability to retain its aromas and adapt to different processing methods, making it a popular choice among Japanese tea producers.

Brewing tips: This is a high-end tea and we strongly recommend that you respect the basic dosages and use quality water to brew this tea.

Quality water will be water with very little mineralization. Check the dry residue on the label of the water you want 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. A fairly famous and cheap water is the Grand Barbier source that you will find at Carrefour.

Brew small quantities 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.
