Tea leaves grown in flat area are a bit livelier and thicker than those in mountain area, and good for Fukamushi-sencha (deep steamed green tea). The longer leaves are steamed, the finer tea become, which give deeper green color and richer taste. If you ask "What color is sencha?", some would says "yellow", the other would do "green" depending on what sencha they have been drinking.
Now , it's rainy season and getting muggy. I brew fukamushi-sencha with hot water to get refresh me, and this refreshing taste goes with sweet dumpling wrapped with bamboo leaf.
