Description | \u8a73\u7d30<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u81ea\u5b85\u524d<\/span> jitakumae<\/em> means ‘in front of one’s home’ in Japanese, and the mature Yabukita tea trees from Tsukigase Kenk\u014d Chaen’s jitakumae<\/em> tea garden grow indeed right outside the Iwata family’s house. The house is located on top of one of the many smaller mountains that characterize the landscape across the Tsukigase Valley in Nara. Here in the cool mountain air, the tea trees grow slowly and completely without the use of fertilizer (apart from the annual scattering of fallen leaves from nearby forests).<\/p>\n

The gentle farming method combined with the pristine natural environment bestow Tsukigase Sencha Yabukita with a uniquely clear profile. The spring tea leaves, which are grown unshaded until harvest in May 2020, offer a very pure minerality and fresh vegetal character in both aroma and on the palate characteristic of Tsukigase Kenko Chaen’s teas. At the same time, the moderate maturation period of +18 months reveals deeper layers of sweet and floral notes that quietly linger in the mouth as a fine aftertaste.<\/p>\n

Tsukigase Kenk\u014d Chaen themselves describe their tea as “the unchanging taste of mountain of the past”<\/em> – and there is indeed something almost timeless about its clear, mineral, and natural expression: Tsukigase Sencha Yabukita is old school <\/em>sencha.<\/p>\n
