- 【First-Harvest Sencha Green Tea】 In Japan, tea made from the first picked buds of the year are called "shincha." The tea leaves, picked from late April to early May, are soft, vibrant green, and have a refreshing aroma. This premium sencha green tea is made using only the finest first-harvest tea leaves.
- 【Refined Taste】 It has a good balance of sweetness, umami, and bitterness, alongside a refreshing, refined taste. Its delicate flavor goes well with fruit-based desserts, chocolate, no-bake cheesecake, and white fish dishes.
- 【Bright Color, Refreshing Aroma】 The brewed of this sencha green tea tea is a bright yellow-green color with transparent tones. It has a refreshing and mellow aroma, making it the perfect tea for relaxation and refreshment.
- 【Fresh Loose Leaf】 This sencha green tea blend mainly consists of the popular "Yabukita" variety. Yabukita is a tea with a good balance of sweetness, umami, and bitterness. These are fresh, first-harvest tea leaves which have been neatly cut into sticks.
- 【Delicious Both Hot and Iced】 This sencha green tea is delicious brewed with either hot or cold water. Please see the brewing instructions on this product page.
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.
