The Yutaka begins with the leaf.

Where many teas blend for consistency, Nitao Chiran Tea Garden selects for weight — choosing only young buds with a brightness and density that signals quality before a single leaf is steamed. It is an exacting standard, and it shows in the cup: a deep-steamed sencha with a richness and body that goes a step further than the Gin, the sweetness more pronounced, the umami more settled, the finish longer.

The name means abundance, and it earns it.
