The sublime scent of yuzu is unlike any other citrus. Yuzu is sweet, tangy, pungent, and spicy, with citrusy, heady floral notes that feel both distinct from and reminiscent of mandarins and bergamot.

This batch of sencha was produced using top-quality yuzu peels and the rare Kurasawa tea bush cultivar, grown in Shizuoka’s mountainous valley region. The tea offers a slight umami that’s balanced by a juicy, refreshing character.

When grown on mountain valley slopes and produced as sencha, the Kurasawa cultivar expresses gently floral, sweet, and creamy notes. Those qualities are beautifully accentuated by the sublime scent of yuzu, creating an exceptionally flavorful and fun-tasting green tea.

It makes a great hot brew, cold brew, or iced tea infusion—and stands as one of our best yuzu blends to date.
