I am Withered Yabukita Icho Sencha Tea. Put the kettle on, it's time for tea! My leaves have been withered for a night to bring out the fresh, peachy notes in me.
'Icho' is a traditional process in which the yabukita leaves are left to wither overnight before steaming the leaves. This is to oxidize the leaves in a controlled manner bringing out the fresh, peach-like fragrance of the variety. The uplifting and refreshing qualities of this sencha tea make it pleasant to drink for all types of occasions. We fell in love with this tea after a visit to a teahouse in Kyoto and drink it regularly. The tea leaves originate from a farm that uses only organic fertilizer.
