Japan Yame Kuma 'Sencha Okuyutaka' Green Tea

A sencha which really cranks up the umami delivering a smooth thick umami taste with grass tones.

They are a family run farming going for over a century with the current tea master Masahiro Kuma being the 3rd generation in the family tea farm and the head of operation Kazumi Nakatani a 4th generation!
