This yabukita sencha was grown amongst the mountains of Honyama, giving it a crisp, invigorating taste reminiscent of a cool mountain breeze.
Of Shizuoka’s many tea-growing regions, tea from Honyama is praised for its transparent and elegant taste, deriving from the mineral rich soil and the subtle, natural shade of fog and mountains. Typically unshaded and lightly-steamed, honyamacha is known for its clear, crisp taste, and distinctive aroma, known as yama no kaori (山の香) or mountain aroma.
Hailing from the Uchimachi sector of Honyama, Matsuba is the perfect gateway to this classic style of sencha.

Asamushi senchas are sometimes too light and flavorless for my taste. This one, however, showed that light steamed teas can be subtle and yet still full of flavor.
This tea is fresh, fragrant, and very clean tasting. There’s a gentle sweetness of fresh green vegetables along with just the right amount of grassiness and umami to balance things out. Notes of citrus, pear, and green peas.
All of the teas I’ve sampled from Tezumi so far have been excellent. Glad I gave them a try as my usual go-tos, O-Cha and Yuuki-Cha, have been underwhelming as of late.
Flavors: Citrus, Freshly Cut Grass, Garden Peas, Spring Water, Vegetables
