Fukamushicha is quite a comforting and popular tea in Japan – rich, full-bodied, and delightfully FULL of umami. However, given how punchy this tea can be, it can be difficult to find one that is dynamic with nuanced flavor and character. There are lots of good fukamushicha out there – but as always, Mizuba is after teas that taste truly excellent and offer something a bit above the pedestrian.
We're pleased to showcase a new cultivar to the Mizuba collection - Asatsuyu. Asatsuyu is grown in Kagoshima, and is known for its soft taste, yet strong sweetness – perfect to taste in fukamushicha's particular style. The tea showcases a deep, vivid, and rich green color. A rare cultivar that's popular with connoisseurs in Japan!
