This particular tea is special as an Ichou (Withered) Sencha created by Shimizu-san of Bizenyacha in Hidaka, Saitama.\u003cbr\u003eThe techniques of allowing a short withering period and then mild roasting creates a tea that is still Japanese green tea, but starting to lean towards an Oolong. Some call these teas Japanese Green Oolong. The result is a very smooth Sencha with grassy and floral aromatics, a good amount of \u003cem\u003eamami\u003c\/em\u003e (sweetness) with just a mildly \u003cem\u003eshibumi \u003c\/em\u003e(astringent) finish. One of my favorite aspects of this tea is the ability to maintain flavor through several infusions, making it a great bargain.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Charaku Fine Japanese Tea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58104127750447,"sku":null,"price":12.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/9464\/8111\/files\/Sayama.Fukumidori.cat.jpg?v=1686869924","url":"https:\/\/charaku-tea.com\/products\/fukumidori-ichou-sencha-sayamacha-saitama-pref-50g-2026-shincha","provider":"Charaku Fine Japanese Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
