Premium Yabukita Noboru Tea is a Japanese green tea in the sencha category, produced by Fujimotoen in Mizuho, western Tokyo. It belongs to the regional tradition of Tokyo Sayama-cha and is recognized as a local specialty under the Tokyo Mizuho Brand program.

It is made from Yabukita tea leaves, cultivated with generous applications of organic fertilizers to develop thicker, tender leaves. Its distinctive processing method involves extended steaming, known as fukamushi, which breaks the leaves into smaller particles and reduces astringency. Fujimotoen describes this approach as “Deep Mild,” emphasizing a full-bodied flavor and a clean finish.

The tea is characterized by its intense green color, rich and rounded flavor, gentle sweetness, and the aroma developed during the final heating stage, known as hiire. Despite its richness, it leaves a refreshing aftertaste.
