High in the umami component theanine, this tea has little astringency and a mellow, strong umami flavor. It also has the elegant aroma unique to tea grown under cover. [Shizuoka's Chagusaba Farming Method, a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System] Chagusaba is a semi-natural grassland where grasses such as bamboo grass and Japanese silver grass are harvested and added to tea fields as organic matter. It is a common sight in Shizuoka Prefecture. The farming method of spreading grass harvested from Chagusaba on tea fields produces higher quality tea. This practice also allows for symbiosis with living organisms without disrupting the natural system. *Shizuoka's Chagusaba Farming Method was designated a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on May 30, 2013.
