Description

Made from the big leaves (yamagi) that are a by-product of making sencha tea, Shibafune is known for its light, refreshing taste. The overall taste of yanagi is somewhat similar to that of sencha, though without sencha’s characteristic sweetness. But if you prefer a casual tea that has a sharp refreshing flavor with a light bitterness, then yanagi is a good choice for you.

Our highest grade yanagi is Wakayanagi. With Wakayanagi, you can enjoy a double benefit: sencha-like taste with bancha’s ease of preparation (just add boiling water).Shibafune goes well with meals. It is ideal for refreshing the palate between courses and before/after meals. It is also a good choice for ochazuke (tea poured over rice accompanied by Japanese pickled vegetables).
