Yajimaen First-Rate Hand-Picked Sayama Sencha

Saitama Prefecture, just north of Tokyo, isn't a tourist destination: other than the town of Kawagoe that looks like a set for a samurai movie, the prefecture doesn't offer much more than the usual assortment of temples, shrines, and nature. If you do find yourself visiting it, though, there is one thing you should definitely try and that is Sayama green tea, produced around the city of the same name. Thanks to its thick leaves, Sayama tea has a particularly sweet and rich flavor, and some of the highest levels of antioxidants. And even if you don't plan to visit Saitama soon, you can still sample its offerings with the Yajimaen First-Rate Hand-Picked Sayama Sencha!

Yajimaen First-Rate Hand-Picked Sayama Sencha is produced by Yajimaen, a tea producer from Ageo, just a few miles north of Sayama. Yajimaen is one of Saitama Prefecture's top producers, being in the business since 1927 and all of its know-how has been distilled into this 130 g (4.6 oz) can of tea. Picked by hand instead of machine and from the very best plants in the area, this sencha is among the top green teas you can get anywhere in Japan and is recommended for any tea aficionado – or their friends, since it comes in a special box, ready for gifting!
