Description
A classic, Yabukita single-cultivar sencha from Chiyonoen. Because approximately 75% of the teas in Japan are made from the variety called Yabukita, it is an acquired taste for Japanese and many tea lovers. Indeed, it is an excellent cultivar with a wonderful balance of taste and aroma, a cultivar that was selected from native varieties (seedlings) and registered in Shizuoka in 1953. Chiyonoen’s Yabukita sencha is characterized by its crisp taste and pleasant aroma.
