A hand plucked Sencha in really good quality. Hinpyoukai means competition tea, it is a Sencha that took part in a competition.

The exceptional quality of this Sencha is characterised, among other things, by the carefully harvested pluck from the best location and conscious cultivation.

Hiruma-san is not only a well-known expert for hand-rolled teas, but he also likes to experiment, thus increasing his considerable experience, which allows him to make remarkable Senchas. For this competition tea of course he is doing a classical tea, shading for 8 days only, no withering and normal short steaping (Asamushi).
