Kuma Tea Gardens’ award winning saemidori sencha is a tea which will make you pleasantly realize that Japanese tea can indeed be sweet. This tea is their hatsu-tsumi sencha, which is their "First picking" or the tea farmer's very first harvest of the spring season. The saemidori cultivar is known for its brilliant color and brilliant green is exactly what you get with this leaf when steeping at hotter temperatures. Besides the pleasant color, the surprising amount of umami flavor despite zero shading (i.e., it is a sencha) is a testament to Kuma-san's soil development and care for his tea bushes. This saemidori sencha received the gold medal (Prix D'OR) in the Japanese Tea Selection Paris 2020.
A note from Kuma-san (tea farmer):
A tea which is representative of Yame-cha (Yame, Fukuoka’s tea) with a mellow taste and rounded sweetness. We are proud to present you with this sencha that can be characterized by a soft but rich condensed taste and a refreshing flavor, which we hope will make your heart content! When brewed with ice, the rich umami and sweetness that this tea produces will make you mistake it for a gyokuro… The refreshing aroma of this tea upon opening this tea package is exquisite and inviting. We will be delighted if you may enjoy this authentic tea from Yame!
Steeping notes
We find that this tea is so delicate, you can have a lot of fun steeping it like a gyokuro.
