"A great representation of the sencha style with medium-large leaf size that steeps very nicely." - Matt B.

Fresh, grassy high notes with a smooth

body, savory flavor and crisp finish

Sencha Superior is made from the predominant Yabukita cultivar of Shizuoka, Japan and offers the classic, bittersweet and balanced umami flavor that represents the original Japanese Sencha taste profile. Sencha Superior is mostly from high grown gardens in Shizuoka and undergoes a light steaming process called asamushi that is employed by tea farmers to preserve the tea's inherent varietal and origin characteristics. The clear, golden-green and brisk infusion of Sencha Superior is fresh and lively with a savory-sweet and crisp finish.

Reviews Summary
Customers say: this green tea has an intense aroma, smooth taste, and light golden-green color when brewed. Many describe it as their daily go-to tea with a distinctive grassy, earthy flavor that's mild yet flavorful. Users appreciate its versatility, enjoying it hot or iced, plain or with honey, and often blending it with other teas like jasmine. Several mention it works well as a morning pick-me-up with moderate caffeine. Common brewing advice includes watching steeping time, with some preferring shorter steeps. The loose leaf format allows customizable strength, and many customers report being long-term repeat purchasers who find it reliable and high-quality.
