Guricha is different from sencha both in appearance and taste. This tea benefits from a specific manufacturing process that creates a tea similar in appearance to the pan-fired tea s of China. Guricha is steamed and fashioned into "comma" shaped leaves by omitting the final kneading process. We recommend Guricha for those who like sencha's taste but may think sencha is a bit strong. Consequently, we say guricha is a milder version sencha. Origin: Ureshino, SagaHarvest: First Flush Cultivar: YabukitaTasting Profile:A gentle, umami-rich cup with virtually no bitterness.
