We are excited to share a brand new sencha from the young producer Nakakubo san based in Minami-Yamashiro south of Uji. Made from 100% Yabukita cultivar, Nakakubo san and his family are focused on crafting light steamed sencha that reflects the terroir of the area. The farm, positioned at around 150m on a coveted south-facing slope, enjoys the warmth of the sun for extending period each morning allowing the leaf to absorb nutrients both through the leaf and from the rich soil below.
We are a New York City and Fukuoka, Japan based tea and teaware company. We believe simple, delicious tea and well designed teaware support a creative, healthy and uncomplicated lifestyle. We are passionate about beautiful design and the uncompromising quality of our teas.

No sweetness, bitterness, or astringency. Basically no seaweed/umami that I usually get from Japanese greens. But it is still very savory, just in an herbal way. In fact, their tasting notes are pretty spot on.
