Founded by Mr. Shimooka, Yakichi is a hand-picked tea named after the farm where it's grown. Yakichi
sencha is an eight-time Ministry of Agriculture award winner, and also the winner of the highest
agricultural award, the Imperial Prize. Yakichi is a famous example of Japanese tea cultivation. This
traditional Japanese tea is shade grown (kabuse) in the mountains above Uji. Blended with three
famous varietals, the blend is a unique effort by Mr. Shimooka to produce the optimal flavor profiles.
The vibrant green leaf yields a pale liquor and soft, sweet flavor with a lingering brightness.
