From the fields of family-operated tea farm, Tomizawa Tea Garden, this shincha is shaded for 2 weeks before early May harvest (making it a kabusecha). The Yabukita tea cultivar is the standard in the tea industry for its beautiful flavor and as a steamed guricha, the leaves are not rolled into straight needles as you would see with a sencha, but rather left curled by skipping the last rolling step.
