Sencha from Kinezuka family production - this time from Yamakai cultivar
Product detailed description
- Cultivar: Yamakai
Yamakai is the officially registered name of the cultivar Shizu-7166. All cultivars in the 7000 series share one parent: Yabukita.
Yamakai is quite rich in umami, and it has been grown mainly for shaded teas.
Unfortunately, its extravagant aroma has, in my opinion unfairly, given it a bad reputation among tea merchants, and so this cultivar has become quite rare. Finding an old-fashioned unshaded sencha made from Yamakai is quite a challenge today.
Recently, however, the tide has turned and Yamakai is growing in popularity.
If aroma is what you enjoy most about tea, this Yamakai has a good chance of becoming your favorite.
