An extra early harvest from the popular tea farm on Yakushima Island, Kagoshima, Japan, this blend by farmer Watanabe-san is an exquisite taste of umami as a lightly steamed sencha. Package may differ from photo.
\nSteaming: Asamushi, or lightly steamed. This results a leaf that is kept more intact than longer steaming, and therefore results in a clearer, liquid that extracts more slowly from the leaf for multiple steepings. This type of steaming is usually reserved for higher quality leaf.
\n
\nOrganic certification: Note to wholesale customers, this product is grown and processed to JAS organic certification. Please contact us for proper organic export documentation. Minimum purchase may be required.
We recommend the warm water steeping method for this Yakushima Shincha. Steep it in a small amount at low temperature to enjoy the umami flavors more distinctly, then again at higher temperatures to release more flavors.

Sencha Asatsuyu is a single cultivar green tea made from Shizuoka prefecture's asatsuyu cultivar, famous for naturally providing a gyokuro-like taste profile filled with umami richness. It has a mellow sweetness and is often utilised for making high-quality tea.
\n
Of course, one can enjoy this tea hot but the Dobashien Tea Company also recommends to try it cold-steeped during the warmer seasons. When it is cold-steeped, one may be pleasantly surprised at how delicious this tea is, without much/any bitterness. If you do enjoy having a bit of bitterness in your tea, it is recommended to steep the tea with hot water and then to add ice to the tea. Please enjoy this tea in many ways!

About Production
\n
The most commonly drunk of all teas in Japan, sencha tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. After they are picked, the leaves are take immediately to to the factory for steaming, rolling, and drying.
\n
In Japan, a high level of skill necessary to create fine sencha. Though the processing of the leaves is entirely mechanized, the machines utilized are built to imitate the handrolling process that turns leaves into fine sencha needles. So, our tea meisters study the handrolling process in order to gain a better understanding and control over the machines used to produce professional-level sencha tea leaves.
\n
From there, our award-winning master blenders taste teas from different farms, filter out stems and dust, sort the leaves by size and gradation, and combine the leaves to create the perfect sencha.
In 1892, Dobashien's founder Tetsugoro Dobashi established a small tea shop in a quiet residential district on the outskirts of Tokyo. As the city expanded, the area known as Akasaka-Mitsuke became one of the city's elite districts with ryotei, luxury Japanese restaurants, hosting meetings between powerful politicians. At these ryotei, only the best tea leaves from Shizuoka and other parts of Japan are served.

About Tanegashima Island, Kagoshima Prefecture
\n
Tanegashima Island is a small Japanese island located in the southwestern region of the country, known for its rich history and natural beauty. The island is renowned for being the site of Japan's first contact with firearms and Western culture, as well as being a launch site for rockets and space exploration. With its stunning beaches, lush forests, and diverse wildlife, Tanegashima Island has become a popular destination for tourists seeking a unique and unforgettable experience in Japan.
\n
Because if it’s southern latitude, tea fields on the island are some of the earliest to be harvested in Japan, with the first harvest occurring at the end of March.
Recommended for those who are keen on tea, this Ureshino tea, \"Kiwami\" (meaning extreme, acme) has a luxurious richness and umami, with just the right amount of sweetness and astringency. Please enjoy sensing the richness and umami change across the multiple steeps. Kiwami is a blend of the two cultivars: Asatsuyu and Saemidori.

Sencha Asatsuyu is a single cultivar green tea made from Shizuoka prefecture's asatsuyu cultivar, famous for naturally providing a gyokuro-like taste profile filled with umami richness. It has a mellow sweetness and is often utilised for making high-quality tea.
Of course, one can enjoy this tea hot but the Dobashien Tea Company also recommends to try it cold-steeped during the warmer seasons. When it is cold-steeped, one may be pleasantly surprised at how delicious this tea is, without much/any bitterness. If you do enjoy having a bit of bitterness in your tea, it is recommended to steep the tea with hot water and then to add ice to the tea. Please enjoy this tea in many ways!
About Production
The most commonly drunk of all teas in Japan, sencha tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. After they are picked, the leaves are take immediately to to the factory for steaming, rolling, and drying.
In Japan, a high level of skill necessary to create fine sencha. Though the processing of the leaves is entirely mechanized, the machines utilized are built to imitate the handrolling process that turns leaves into fine sencha needles. So, our tea meisters study the handrolling process in order to gain a better understanding and control over the machines used to produce professional-level sencha tea leaves.
From there, our award-winning master blenders taste teas from different farms, filter out stems and dust, sort the leaves by size and gradation, and combine the leaves to create the perfect sencha.
In 1892, Dobashien's founder Tetsugoro Dobashi established a small tea shop in a quiet residential district on the outskirts of Tokyo. As the city expanded, the area known as Akasaka-Mitsuke became one of the city's elite districts with ryotei, luxury Japanese restaurants, hosting meetings between powerful politicians. At these ryotei, only the best tea leaves from Shizuoka and other parts of Japan are served.
