Green tea with the scent of cherry blossoms? "Shizu 7132" - A variety that has been loved as it is
As a green tea with the scent of cherry blossoms, only those in the know know "Shizu 7132". The name "Shizu 7132" may seem more like a control number than a variety name. It is no wonder that it was originally a number used at the Shizuoka Prefecture Tea Industry Experiment Station in the 1960s.
It was a variety that was selected and bred from among the natural hybrid seedlings of "Yabukita", but it did not attract much attention for a long time because the shoots were red and had a slightly strange feature. Therefore, it has a history of being called "Shizu 7132" without having a fancy name.
However, the scent reminiscent of cherry blossom leaves has gradually become known, and in recent years, it has become a favorite among those who enjoy single-variety green tea.
In Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City, it was nicknamed "Machiko", but it is still a green tea that is often known as "Shizuka 7132". Behind the slightly rugged name, the uniqueness of the scent quietly breathes.
