[Premium] Hand-picked,Shizuoka Honyama Wilted Tea, Inzatsu 131 Seed 2024, Made by Kazuaki Takahashi, 20g

This lightly fermented tea is made from tea leaves grown in the tea gardens of Shizuoka Honyama, the birthplace of Shizuoka tea. The rare variety, Shizu-Inzatsu 131, is hand-picked and the aroma is brought out through a fermentation process called withering, after which it is finished by adding heat to stop fermentation in a Taiwanese-style pan-fryer.

Shizu-Inzatsu 131 is a variety that has a history of being introduced from India during the Taisho era, and the "In" stands for "India." Also, "seedling" refers to tea plants grown from seeds. It has a gorgeous fragrance, and is the parent of varieties with distinctive fragrances such as Fujikaori and Sofu.

It has a jasmine-like aroma, a fruity aroma unique to withered tea, and a refreshing taste with a hint of sweetness and fruitiness, and is a low-fermentation tea similar to green tea, like Taiwan's Baozhong tea. You can brew it in a teapot, or gaiwan like Taiwanese tea, or you can enjoy it by brewing it in water.
