A mellow green tea produced in the Shizouka region near Mount Fuji. The leaves are steamed early in the season to maintain their fresh, vibrant flavor.

I bought this off the shelf at their store at 115 S. Walnut St, Champaign-IL. The dry leaf was a mix of inch-long needles and shorter, broken pieces, with a deep green colour. Steeped 2.5 grams of leaf Western style in a stainless steel infusion basket using 8 ounces of 170°F alpine spring water, for 60 seconds, with a re-steep of 90 s. The liquor was clear golden-yellow in appearance with a fragrance of mown grass and asparagus. Flavor notes included asparagus, edamame, chestnut, umami, and a hint of kelp and sweetness. It was delicious. There was only a slight astringency, and no bitter or sour elements. I’ll rate this as 81, the same as Adagio’s Sencha Premier, and recommend it, especially to those in central Illinois as a superb local business worthy of support.
Flavors: Asparagus, Chestnut, Edamame, Seaweed, Sweet, Umami
