Yabukita Kabuse Sencha

Jiro Katahira is one of the most revered producers working in Shizuoka today having developed a reputation for meticulous farm maintenance and processing. His presentation of the Yabukita cultivar, which comprises over 80% of the prefecture's yearly output and is known for its intoxicating floral aroma, is nothing short of stunning. Shaded by indirect covering for 12 days prior to hand harvesting, this tea showcases everything we love about Jiro san's approach to production and the Yabukita cultivar—a decadent texture and intense florals balanced by rich umami.
