Superior Sencha is specially selected and carefully picked by skilled hands. Such tea leaves have a remarkably intense aroma that is far superior to machine-picked leaves. Made from Yabukita tea leaves grown on the picturesque hills of Watzuka Town, just south of Uji City. The leaves are masterfully processed into beautiful, spindle-shaped and heavy, dark and fragrant tea leaves. A main characteristic of Sencha from Uji is its refreshing taste and, compared to other cultivation areas in Japan, its light color.
