This competition grade sencha is special - full-bodied, rich in umami, sweet, with almost no bitterness. We got notes of buttered sweet corn, dashi, and wildflowers with an incredibly intense, vegetal aroma. This is an exemplary competition-grade fukamushi sencha, with the second steep being our favorite. Check out Harrison's tea brewing video for our recommended parameters!

The tea trees are grown in a mild climate at an elevation of 250m, right off of the coast, and surrounded by several volcanos. Due to this unique combination of factors, the Chiran terroir is incredibly distinct, and is one of Japan's most celebrated tea regions.

The producers at Nagayama Tea Factory do a deep steam right after harvest to preserve the umami and sweetness (fukamushi). This results in a reduction in the caffeine and a high theanine content, making this perfect to savor any time of day.
