Autumn sencha blend from Marukyu-Koyamaen
A mellow, refreshing yet grounding tea with earthy notes, a hint of nuttiness, and a clean finish. It carries a forest-like, fallen-leaf character that makes it the perfect companion for a warm, cozy tea moment indoors.
Traditionally, before the era of air-tight packaging, tea farmers used to keep their tea in large "tsubo", vessels. In Kyoto, in the summer season, they sealed the tsubo with paper and carried them to Mount Hiei. The mountain was cool, keeping the precious tea fresh and aromatic. The farmers kept their Tencha in tsubo all year round and only took out the amount they wanted to grind for matcha. In October or the beginning of November, the seal of the jar with new tea plucked in spring is ritually broken and the new tea is used for the first time. The ritual of breaking this seal of the tea jar is called "tsubokiri".

Delicious tsubokiri sencha. It has a sweet and slightly astringent character while remaining on the mellow side.

One of the best senchas I have ever tried in this price range! It has a fresh, vegetable like flavor (might be because it is the season, but the scent reminds me of raw pumpkin:)) and no astringency at all. Truly wonderful, I definitely recommend ordering a few cans to store op for the rest of the year when it is not available!
