Tamakawa is a Sencha Yabukita cultivar from the Tamakawa area of Shizouka Prefecture, Japan.
This cultivar is prized for its balanced flavor profile, which combines sweetness, umami (flavor) and a hint of astringency.
The tea has a soft and refreshing taste with a pleasant vegetable aroma.
Fukamushi Kabusecha is a "long-steamed shadow tea" grown in the shade for approximately a week before picking and steamed 2-3 times longer than, for example. This gives the tea a sweeter and more nuanced taste.
Hojicha consists primarily of stems that have been roasted.
The stems have been separated from the leaf tissue, which is used for Sencha tea. The stems have a rustic appearance and are an easy tea to prepare as they are not so sensitive to temperature. The tea have a soft and round taste, and the roasting adds a nutty taste.
