Product Description
Seven-Day Picked Deep-Steamed Tea from Shizuoka Prefecture, the Home of Tea.
Uses tea leaves picked seven days after the start of the first harvest. You can enjoy a strong taste and aroma, with the umami of new buds, complemented by a refreshing bitterness and astringency that lingers subtly in the aftertaste. The tea leaves have a substantial weight, suggesting high nutritional value.
Nutrient-Rich, Thick Tea Leaves from Makinohara, Shizuoka Prefecture.
"Deep-steamed tea" is tea that has been steamed for nearly twice the time of regular sencha, carefully processed. This allows heat to penetrate thoroughly into the tea leaves. While the shape of the leaves becomes powdery, the tea's components are effectively extracted, allowing you to ingest nutrients that are not easily dissolved in water.
Processed in a Soft, Freshly Picked State.
Strictly Selected First Harvest Only.
The first harvest, rich in nutrients and excellent in umami and sweetness, has been prized since ancient times as a symbol of longevity due to its superior sunlight, rainfall, and warm environment, allowing it to store ample nutrients while dormant. Deep-steamed tea made with soft first-harvest leaves can be enjoyed with a mellow and rich flavor when brewed with lower temperature water.
