Product Description
No Chemical Fertilizer
100% JONA & JAS Organic Certified
Select the finest tea farmers blend the finest varieties.
The tea leaves of sencha green tea are cultivated in an open-air tea farm and it is grown under the sunlight directly.
Organic Sencha from Uji, Kyoto
Sencha is the most commonly consumed green tea in Japan, accounting for approximately 70% of the total amount distributed in Japan. Because the tea leaves are exposed to plenty of sunlight and grow thick, they are characterized by their deep green color and deep, mellow aroma.
Among them, organic tea accounts especially for only 4% of domestic production.
This extremely valuable tea also makes a great gift.
The Blend and Manufacturing Method
Tea experts carefully assess the quality of tea leaves every year. We mainly use the first harvest varieties of "Yabukita" and "Saemidori".
Furthermore, far-infrared roasting and pasteurization brings out the original impactful aroma of tea and the full flavor of the tea leaves.
Green Tea Steaming Level Simplified Chart
If the freshly picked leaves are left as they are, they immediately begin to ferment. The tea leaves are steaming for halt the oxidizing and fermentation action, preserve their green color and remove the "grassy" odor. Steaming process has a significant effect on the sencha's color and quality.
Cold Brew Sencha Green Tea Is Also Recommended
Cold Brew Sencha gives It a Mellow Taste
Cold Brew makes it difficult to extract bitter and astringent ingredients and caffeine. Furthermore, vitamin C is not destroyed by heat.
Add 3g of tea leaves (1 heaped tsp) to 100ml of water and brew in the refrigerator for 1 hour. If you are making a large batch, please brew for 3-6 hours.
Arrange Cold Brew Sencha by Adding Fruits
Green tea and lemons are both high in nutrition. It can be a great addition to a healthy diet. When making cold brew sencha, you can make a refreshing lemon sencha by soaking it with lemon slices and garnishing it with mint.
Other recommended varieties include peaches, pears, and blueberries.

It's a room temperature 1st Brew. 15 minutes steep time. The theamine is a rich fortifying prep. This wakes up your morning senses; then there are the 2nd, and third, steepings. Using a temp that is a warmer 10sec steep. My third steep is hotter. This is a sit down and relax time. The tea leaves are now like butter fly wings so do not cook with a high temperature steep. Theamine or B1 has been called the happiness vitamin. It is temperature sensitive hence the progressive increments in cold, warm and hotter. I know it sounds like a lot of fuss but this half hour or less is an investment in your feeling good, before the day!

A good Sencha but, of course, at that price it's not top notch. However, it's a great go-to green tea for daily use – it has an agreeable flavour, a light jade-green colouring, and it yields up to three steeps (2 tsp per cup, add water 5 minutes after boiling, steep 1 min., 1:30 min., 2:30 min. respectively) per brew. Recommended!

I ordered a very nice sencha tea, also by Yamasan before "Fukamushi Sencha 80g bag) and it was delicious. I'm not sure if I misunderstood what sencha is, but this also claims to be a sencha tea, in fact it's also by Yamasan, which is why I was shocked to see the tea full of bright beigy colored twigs and leaf stems, compared to the other tea, which smelled rich and beautiful, the smell of this stuff literally reminded me of hay.
Since then I've seen teas in Japan like this, also with a hay-like smell, maybe it's intentional and maybe people like it, but I still don't understand what distinguishes this "sencha" from the other one I bought, which was much, MUCH better!!!
