The Shimizu family named these leaves tobikkiri because they are truly a cut above the rest of their teas having been refined from competition grade leaves. To achieve this excellence, the harvest was shaded with a double layer for 2 3 weeks, dramatically reducing the sunlight that reaches the plant to increase the chlorophyll content and reduce the bitterness in the leaf.
