Sencha from Miyazaki, Oku Yutaka cultivar

Description seller: Another gem from Miyazaki Prefecture, from Miyakonojô city more precisely, this tea is produced from leaves from tea plants of the excellent Oku Yutaka cultivar.

It is a normal steamed sencha, with beautiful emerald green leaves, nicely rolled into uniformly shaped needles. Their fragrance is that of an exemplary sencha, sweet and slightly grassy. Its gorgeous, perfectly translucent, luminous green liquor is also classic. Its clearness belies the fact that it is very flavourful, rich in umami, very mellow and sweet, with a vegetal aftertaste in the background, which gives this tea an exquisite balance. Altogether, the combination evokes floral flavours from tropical forests.

This is a tea produced with great care, and which does credit to Miyazaki Prefecture, which should be better known for the first-class teas it produces.
