Miyazaki Asanoka Asamushi Sencha

Miyazaki Asanoka Asamushi Sencha offers a delightful exploration of one of Japan's most cherished green tea cultivars, Asanoka. This tea captures the essence of Asanoka, a crossbreed between Yabukita and a Chinese tea variety, known for its distinctive flavor profile that combines sweetness with a gentle umami.

Asanoka Cultivar:
Asanoka is celebrated for its rich and balanced taste, making it a standout choice for everyday green tea. It’s especially favored for its harmonious blend of sweetness and umami, creating a nuanced, full-bodied experience that is both satisfying and refreshing.

Asamushi Process:
This Sencha is processed using the Asamushi method, which refers to a light steaming process that lasts about 20-30 seconds. Asamushi means "lightly steamed," and this method preserves the leaf's natural shape, resulting in a tea with a clear, vibrant green liquor and a flavor profile that is fresh, delicate, and aromatic. Asamushi Sencha typically retains more of the original leaf's flavor, offering a crisp and clean taste with subtle complexity.

Why Asanoka is Great:
The Asanoka cultivar shines in this Asamushi Sencha, offering a tea that is both approachable and deeply satisfying. Its delicate sweetness, combined with a hint of umami, makes it a versatile choice for any time of day. The light steaming allows the tea's natural flavors to come through, providing a refreshing and invigorating cup that is as pleasing to the senses as it is to the palate.
