We were able to purchase this high grade Sencha at this year's tea market in Kyoto. Strong umami, a fruity sweetness and not a hint of bitter. Extremely fragrant and no matter how hot or cold you brew it, this tea never fails to impress.

Here is a small video of Yantan, the region in Uji-Tawara, where Mr. Fujita grows his tea. Unfortunately, this video is only available in Japanese, but it gives an impression of the beautiful landscape.
