The deep and rich-flavored "056 Yabukita Usuki" has the characteristic taste of sencha while pairing well with Western-style sweets. When served with a tart topped with plenty of seasonal citrus fruits, it's best brewed at a slightly lower temperature.
The umami is well extracted, harmoniously complementing the sweetness and acidity of the citrus, as well as the richness of the tart and cream, making it enjoyable until the last sip.
