Hokkyosei Special Blend Sencha
Hokkyokusei is a Sencha tea and it consists of five cultivars.
The blend is made especially for Sing Tehus by the Japanese tea master Yuta Hiraoka-san.
Hiraoka-san visited Denmark in January 2024 and brought a range of tea samples from cultivars that are well suited to the Danish water. After an in-depth tea tasting in collaboration with the team at Sing Tehus, the result was Hokkyokusei, a mixture of cultivars that provide depth (umami) as well as a fresh and light tea with a hint of floral aroma.
The tea consists of the following cultivars :
3 different varieties of Sencha Yabukita, 1 x Fukamushi Sencha Okumidori and 1 x Fukamushi Sencha Yabukita.
The name Hokkyokusei means the North Star, also called Polaris.
Yuta Hiraoka-san has worked in the family business Tamakawa Tea since he was young, where he had a special interest in tea tasting and tea blending.
Through dedication and hard work, he achieved the highest rank (10th dan) in September 2023 as one of the youngest tea masters ) at the 70th National Tea Examination Skills Competition.
