Second sample from Yunomi. This one is super different from Kurihara’s #24. It is also a chumushi.
The farm is owned by a husband and wife. The husband’s grandfather Chiyokichi, was the founder of the farm and give it his name.
No sweetness. Mild bitterness with no astringency. Umami is present, but nowhere near as intense as the Kurihara. Longevity is 4 infusions.
Certainly not bad, but at the same price as the Kurihara, I would much prefer that one.
Dry leaf: Roasty, nutty
