The Secret to Deliciousness Is

The Blend and Manufacturing Method

Tea experts carefully assess the quality of tea leaves every year. We mainly use the first harvest varieties of "Yabukita" and "Saemidori".

Furthermore, far-infrared roasting and pasteurization brings out the original impactful aroma of tea and the full flavor of the tea leaves.

Green Tea Steaming Level Simplified Chart

If the freshly picked leaves are left as they are, they immediately begin to ferment. The tea leaves are steaming for halt the oxidizing and fermentation action, preserve their green color and remove the "grassy" odor. Steaming process has a significant effect on the sencha's color and quality.

Cold Brew Sencha Green Tea Is Also Recommended

Cold Brew Sencha gives It a Mellow Taste

Cold Brew makes it difficult to extract bitter and astringent ingredients and caffeine. Furthermore, vitamin C is not destroyed by heat.

Add 3g of tea leaves (1 heaped tsp) to 100ml of water and brew in the refrigerator for 1 hour. If you are making a large batch, please brew for 3-6 hours.

Arrange Cold Brew Sencha by Adding Fruits

Green tea and lemons are both high in nutrition. It can be a great addition to a healthy diet. When making cold brew sencha, you can make a refreshing lemon sencha by soaking it with lemon slices and garnishing it with mint.

Other recommended varieties include peaches, pears, and blueberries.

What is First Flush Tea?

Sencha is a classic Japanese tea made by steaming tea leaves grown in sunlight. Among sencha, the first flush made from new buds harvested in early spring are particularly rich in amino acids that give it umami, and relatively little catechin, which causes astringency. That allows you to enjoy a strong umami flavor, sweetness, and a refreshing aroma. The clear yellow-green color of the tea is beautiful, making it a tea that can be enjoyed with all five senses.
