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.

FAQs
How does sencha differ from other teas?
The processing for sencha is different from that of other teas as the leaves are not roasted. The young sencha leaves are steamed immediately, which locks in the delicate flavors and aromas.
What is special about the first and second flush harvests?
The first and second flush harvests occur after a dormancy and rejuvenation period during the winter. The first flush produces leaves that are packed with nutrients and flavor. The second flush offers a richer tasting harvest. Japanese sencha tea comes from the premium leaves from these initial flushes in the early springtime.
Can I re-use sencha tea?
It is a common practice to re-steep loose leaf sencha green tea, but you can still do this with sachets. The taste may change slightly after the first steep, adding different nuances to the experience. To preserve the overall flavor, we recommend steeping the tea a maximum of 2 or 3 times.
What is the best way to enjoy sencha?
Wake up with a cup of Japanese sencha to leave you feeling cleansed and refreshed. You can add a dash of honey or a slice of lemon if desired.

Paid 84 dollars for a 8 oz. bag, and the company refused to provide a certificate of analysis showing that the product is free of heavy metals and is safe for consumption. Will not be buying again from Rishi
