{"product_id":"sencha-hibi","title":"Sencha “Hibi”","description":"\u003cp\u003eHibi means “day-by-day.” The concept for this tea is 日日是茶日和, which roughly translates to, “every day is a good day for tea” – something we strongly agree with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHibi is an open-field Yabukita grown under Makinohara’s long sunlight, which gives this varietal especially thick leaves. Deep steaming transforms these leaves into a tea with body, sweetness, and just enough astringency to remain refreshing. It is aracha-style and intended for casual daily drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOtsuka handcrafts this tea, following an intuitive method focused on minimal processing. He writes that, “whether or not tea creates some enormous feeling of amazement or emotion, I hope that because tea is there, the person drinking it can feel even a little happiness or comfort, and that their life might become a little richer.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry this tea smells soft, like vanilla, hinting at the innate sweetness of Yabukita. It brews an opaque lemon-lime coloured liquor that has a rich body, electric energetics, and a friendly astringency. It imparts great energy, qualities, and clarity, especially for an “everyday” tea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cultivate Tea","offers":[{"title":"100g","offer_id":52819088376088,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0091\/5737\/8153\/files\/0915_CultivateTea_0025.jpg?v=1792020637","url":"https:\/\/cultivatetea.com\/products\/sencha-hibi","provider":"Cultivate Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
