Motofuji River Nagomi Yutaka Kawane Sencha Green Tea Loose Leaf 30g
Step into a unique tea experience with Kawane Sencha Motofujikawa Nagomiyutaka. Grown in a pesticide-free tea garden in the Motofujikawa area of Kawanehon, Shizuoka, this 30-gram pack of loose-leaf green tea offers an unforgettable sensory journey.
From the moment you open the pouch, sweet floral aromas fill the air, evolving into soothing lavender notes as it brews. With low astringency, low umami, and a light roast, this regular steamed sencha (harvested May 3, 2025) crafts a remarkably smooth cup, one that feels like a fusion of traditional green tea and an almost unfermented oolong.
Shizuoka is celebrated worldwide as the heartland of Japanese green tea, yet this batch showcases a modern twist. The Nagomiyutaka cultivar was developed at Miyazaki Prefecture's agricultural experiment station and registered in 2010. It pairs exceptionally well with withering, a process that draws out intense, flower-like aromatics; these grow even more pronounced by the second and third steep, tickling the nose with a floral clarity rarely found in withered steamed green teas.
For the best results, try 4g of leaves with 70ml of water at 70°C, steeped for about 70 seconds.
