Green Tea "Shizuoka Sencha"
This is a single-origin spring-picked tea made from tea leaves grown in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, by a tea farmer who has been cultivating the soil carefully since the Meiji era.
It is available at TOKYO FANTASTIC 201 (Ni-maru-ichi) and online store.
Single-origin refers to tea leaves grown in a single farm and a single variety. Generally, you can enjoy the individuality of the tea leaves' region and variety more. It is not a blended tea leaf made by mixing tea leaves from multiple regions and farmers.
Refreshing taste of deep-steamed tea
and green tea with a rich green color
"Shizuoka Sencha" is a deep-steamed sencha from Kakegawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
Less bitter, more sweet and umami
By steaming the tea leaves during the tea-making process for twice as long as usual, the cell walls of the tea leaves are broken and the nutrients are more easily dissolved.
As a result, it has a rich flavor even with a short extraction time, and the color is dark because it contains a lot of fine suspended particles. This makes it taste sweet and umami, and it has less astringency.
Drinking Shizuoka Sencha every day
is a delicious sencha that I want you to enjoy.
Careful cultivation, careful tea making.
Shizuoka tea farmer's single-origin spring-picked tea.
Less bitter, more umami.
Mild and pleasant aftertaste.

Enjoy a cup of tea that soothes your mind and body with its sweetness and umami, and refreshes your mind and body.
Deep-steamed green tea, so it's OK to add hot water for 30 seconds to 60 seconds!
Normal sencha is about 1 to 2 minutes, but deep-steamed sencha is fine for a short time because the grain size is fine. 30 seconds to 1 minute is appropriate.
Reason for short time
During the tea-making process, the general steaming time for sencha is 30 to 40 seconds, but "deep-steamed sencha" is steamed for 60 to 120 seconds, twice to three times as long. Deep-steamed sencha has a short brewing time because the tea leaves are fine and the constituent components are easily dissolved. By steaming for a long time, the bitterness and astringency are suppressed and it becomes a mellow-tasting tea, and the leaves become fine, so it becomes a deep green color when brewed in a teapot.

We packaged only carefully selected tea leaves (first tea 100% / single farm tea)
(soil cultivation, fertilization, cultivation management, tea making method, etc.).
The secret to growing these tea leaves is
This fluffy soil that has been carefully maintained for many years.
For many years, organic fertilizer that is gentle on the environment and microorganisms has been used as fertilizer, and self-blended specialty compost containing seaweed from the tea grass field in winter and seaweed from the sea in summer has been added to the field every year. The raw material is the first tea new buds (harvested from mid-late April to early May), and it is organic and the farmland is also reduced-pesticide cultivation only in the hot, humid summer after harvest.
Tea grass field farming
It seems that Shizuoka's tea grass field farming, which has also been certified as a World Agricultural Heritage, has been implemented for many years.
By cutting and bundling the suzukaki and other plants that grow on the side of the tea field in the fall, drying them, and putting them between the rows of the tea field, the tea field is insulated and moisturized, and organic matter is added to the soil, which becomes the nutrition of the tea.
