The Nohana is a beautifully balanced sencha made from a blend of many cultivars, including the Yabukita, Yutaka Midori and Asatsuyu. The Yutaka Midori and Asatsuyu cultivars are the varieties used in the Murasaki and Asatsuyu sencha respectively, and they bring a lot of character and sweetness to the teas. This tea picks up a powerful, bold green flavor with some fruitiness and complex vegetable notes. By blending all these tea cultivars together, they are able to take the best aspects of each and create a complex, but well balanced flavor.

Meet the Farmer
This tea comes to us from the farmer Mr. Nuruki, a talented young farmer in Chiran. Mr. Nuruki operates a small farm in southern Japan where he is able to cultivate a wide range of tea plant varieties. He has been successful in blending these different tea varieties together to create a number of fantastic tea blends. These tea blends incorporate the best aspects of each tea variety, to create flavors that are well balanced and unique.
About the Farm
This tea is grown in the small town of Chiran in the southernmost tip of Kyushu. This region greatly benefits from the mild subtropical climate and the volcanic activity, creating nutrient rich soils and mild winters. Because this area is so warm, it allows for the growth of more delicate tea plant varieties, producing lighter and sweeter green teas.
How to Brew it
Add 5 grams of leaves to the teapot or strainer and then pour in 150ml to 200ml of water (160 degrees Fahrenheit) and let the tea brew for 1 minute. You can brew the leaves 2-3 more times with the same temperature for 20 seconds each
