“Katsumi 15” is made from zairai, a traditional tea cultivar derived from a native variety unique to its region. Among zairai teas, it stands out as one of the finest and has been recognized as one of Shizuoka’s Top 100 Teas. Due to its extremely limited production, it’s regarded as a rare gem among organic teas.
The meticulously crafted leaves are slender and lustrous, shaped like fine needles — so full of flavor that even a single nibble reveals their depth and character.
When brewed with a generous amount of leaves (2–3g or 5g) and low-temperature water (around 70°C), it reveals a crisp, uplifting aroma and a delicately clear liquor that surprises with its rich, savory umami.
Unlike most sencha that fade after two or three infusions, Katsumi 15 maintains its clarity and flavor across four to even seven steeps, especially when brewed with gradually increasing water temperature.
