Description
A premium sencha made with a single tea plant cultivar, sayama-kaori. This cultivar is named after the Sayama tea region (where Yokota Tea Garden is based), which encompasses Saitama prefecture and a small area of northwestern Tokyo. The Yokota Tea Garden processed this tea using the "ichoka" method, in which the harvested tea leaves are withered to enhance their scent. It was also steamed for a long time to enhance the rich flavor. Grown by 4th, 5th, and 6th generation tea farmers in the famous Sayama region of Saitama prefecture.
