Tsuyuhikari Kabusecha — Shizuoka <Umami & Sweet>

Fresh and crystal-clear, like tasting the breeze through new spring leaves.

This Tsuyuhikari Kabusecha from Shizuoka is grown under shade for a period of time, allowing the leaves to develop a rich balance of umami and sweetness.

As hot water meets the leaves, a fresh, delicate aroma reminiscent of white flowers and young peach gently rises from the cup. On the palate, an exceptionally smooth, almost melting texture unfolds with a fresh, invigorating character.

Gentle umami is layered with a bright, refreshing note reminiscent of lemongrass, followed by a pleasantly lingering sweetness.

Take your time to savor the remarkable clarity of Tsuyuhikari—its fresh aroma and beautifully clean, vibrant flavor.
