[Sencha] What is Tojirin Dobata?

[Sencha] Fujikichi Rindohata is a sencha that is slightly shaded before being harvested, which is rare in our sencha.

When brewing, it will be delicious even if it is brewed at 80°C, but if you wait about 1 minute at 70°C, the bitterness and astringency will be suppressed and you will be able to enjoy the unique sweetness and umami of [Sencha] Fujiyoshi Rindohata. .
