It softens the leaf structure, so the leaves break into small pieces during rolling. The resulting fine, light-green leaf material has a sweet aroma reminiscent of zucchini.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cup, the tea yields a cloudy, yellow-green infusion. Tiny leaf particles remain suspended in the water, making the liquor more opaque and intensely green than a lightly steamed sencha and lending it a fuller mouthfeel. This prolonged steaming also softens the perception of astringency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, buttery notes mingle with zucchini and cooked vegetables. Umami brings depth to the flavor, while a creamy texture and soft mouthfeel gently round out the infusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003eWritten by Karsten\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSourcing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring our 2026 sourcing journey, we left the mountains of Shizuoka and continued north. Not far from the coast, we made an unannounced stop at a producer we had heard about. We were lucky: the farmer was at work processing black tea in his small factory, a room next to his home. We mentioned that we had heard about his unusually long steaming of sencha, and he soon brought out samples of his freshly made Tokumushi Sencha. This is the batch we selected.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"no_subtitle","offers":[{"title":"50g","offer_id":68198368805108,"sku":"T975_PP1426","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample (~6g)","offer_id":68198368837876,"sku":"T975_PP1426","price":2.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/0480\/1724\/files\/T975_IMG_3159.jpg?v=1794595117","url":"https:\/\/us.nannuoshan.org\/products\/tokumushi-nr-10-2026","provider":"nannuoshan_usa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
