Organic Uji Gokujo Sencha is an 88th day (Hachiju-Hachiya) cultivated organic sencha. Hachiju-Hachiya is traditionally the best day for harvesting green tea in Japan. Unlike Tokusen sencha which is 100% sun-grown, Gokujo sencha goes through a short period of coverage before harvesting. The coverage period is around 3-5 days, shorter than that of kabusecha. However, similar to that of kabusecha, the theanine in the tea leaves is maintained resulting in a less astringent, but lighter, sweeter cup of organic sencha. Brewed correctly, Gokujo sencha is very flavorful. It’s unique rich sweetness and tart aftertaste makes for a simply delicious cup of organic sencha! Carries both the JAS and USDA organic seals!

Hachiju-Hachiya from Harimaen is a lightly steamed Sencha blend of Yabukita (やぶきた – 藪北) and Komakage (駒影) from a self-sustaining JAS certified organic 6ha tea farm, free from pesticides and organically fertilized. A superb or Gokujō Sencha with a distinctive lingering aftertaste, soft but with a richness of subtle elements both sweet and vegetal. A strong build-up of the glutamate, inosinate and guanylate complex showcases as buttermilk/creamy but mostly as a protein-inducing triggering of salivation. It is very distinguishing and enjoyable.
Camellia sinensis ‘Koma-kage’ 駒影 こまかげ is a Hirano No. 55 cultivar published in 1954 and developed at the Koyto Prefecture Tea Research centre from seeds from the Manpuku Temple (万福寺). [ICR-24010]
