[Second Flush] Ingredients: Green tea (Shizuoka Prefecture) Net weight: 100g [Proof of Highest Quality: Nozomi Label] Only those that meet strict evaluation standards are certified as "Nozomi" Shizuoka Makinohara tea. [Nozomi Silver Seal] 100% of the rough tea used contains over 4.7% total nitrogen (umami components). This tea enhances the depth of flavor and aroma characteristic of deep-steamed tea, making it the most beloved natural beverage in its green form. [Characteristics of Nozomi] Grown with intentional shading from sunlight, Nozomi has an exceptional flavor. By shading the tea fields with a shading net, the chlorophyll in the tea leaves increases, resulting in a deep green color. The tea brewed from these leaves has a very beautiful green color. With a high content of the umami component "theanine," it has less astringency and is a smooth, umami-rich tea. It possesses a refined aroma unique to shaded tea cultivation. [World Agricultural Heritage Shizuoka's Tea Grassland Farming] Tea grasslands are semi-natural grasslands where grasses such as bamboo grass and miscanthus are cut and added as organic matter to tea fields. This is a common sight in Shizuoka Prefecture. The farming method of laying the cut grass from tea grasslands in tea fields produces higher quality tea. This practice coexists with nature without disrupting its mechanisms. *Shizuoka's tea grassland farming was recognized as a World Agricultural Heritage by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) on May 30, 2013.
