Organic Japanese sencha offers an invigorating and refreshing flavor

About this tea
Sencha is the traditional, daily steamed green tea of Japan. Our Sencha is made from prized tea bush cultivars including Saemidori and Okumidori and is a blend of the first and second flush harvests from organic farms on Kyushu Island in southern Japan. Kyushu's mineral rich volcanic soil, coupled with skillful organic soil management, creates a sweet and full-bodied green tea flavor. This chumushi sencha yields a slightly opaque, bold green infusion with deep umami and juicy mouthfeel.

Origin

Kagoshima

Kyushu Island, Japan

Kagoshima Prefecture is located at the southwest tip of Kyushu (the third largest island of Japan) and is largely mountainous and home to important lumber, fishing and agriculture industries. Much like the rest of Japan, this region has well manicured tea gardens with well-developed irrigation, and farmers follow strict growing procedures to produce this perfect tea bush shape and size.

Reviews Summary
Customers say: this sencha green tea has excellent flavor with a mild, smooth taste and pleasant vegetal notes. Many appreciate its fresh, clean taste and vibrant color when brewed. Users frequently mention the tea's low caffeine content makes it perfect for afternoon or evening drinking without disrupting sleep. Common feedback highlights the tea's umami characteristics and lack of bitter aftertaste when properly steeped. Several customers note they drink it daily as their morning routine or go-to green tea. The tea bags are praised for convenience while maintaining the same quality as loose leaf. Some mention the tea pairs well with honey, though most enjoy it plain.
