The Sayama tea-growing region in the areas of the cities Sayama and Iruma in Saitama Prefecture is known for rather deeply steamed (Sencha Fukamushi), long wilted Sencha and a variety of newly developed tea plant varieties. Long steaming produces darker, heavier teas, while withering brings in beautiful fruity-floral notes.The producer Hiruma-san is not only a recognised expert in hand-rolled teas, but also very experimental and experienced - he leaves the tea bushes for his Senchas exceptionally long (25-31 days) under a batiste cloth with a shading degree of 75%. In this way he also makes his Sencha from different varieties a true experience.Five teas of the same type, from the same origin, produced by the same tea processor, all from the spring harvest of 2023 - however each tea plant variety has its own characteristics.Contents: 50g Sencha Fukumidori, 50g Sencha Yumewakaba, 50g Sencha Musashikaori, 50g Sencha Sayamakaori, 50g Sencha Hokumei.
