2025 Yume Suruga Sencha Japanese Green Tea
This medium-steamed single cultivar sencha features the distinctive characteristics of the Yume Suruga cultivar from Japan's Shizuoka region. Named after the historic Suruga province that once encompassed the central part of present-day Shizuoka prefecture, this 2025 spring harvest showcases the cultivar's naturally smooth profile.
The aroma offers fresh notes of roasted green vegetables, while the liquor offers a satisfying umami with a rich, full body. Thanks to the cultivar's lower catechin content, you'll find a smoother, more plush texture where gentle astringency balances beautifully with the umami depth. A hint of freshness emerges at the finish, leaving you with that mouthwatering, quenching feeling that makes this tea both substantial and refreshing.
A solid choice for those who appreciate a fuller-bodied Japanese green tea with medium to medium high level of umami and gentle, balanced astringency.
Each bag is 100 grams. Harvested April 2025.
