SENCHA SUPERIOR

This is the end of the 2024 harvest. Look for the new 2025 harvest around mid July.

An excellent, high end, daily green tea, and an extremely good example of a classic Japanese Sencha. Good senchas, like this one, have a good blend of strength and smooth sweet drinkability.

Levels of tannin and theanine are very balanced in this one, so you’ll feel a hint of astringency to keep it refreshing, but it will still be balanced by a sweet umami finish.

Tasting Notes: This is a full bodied, strong but not harsh, wonderfully balanced quintessential Japanese green tea. Savory umami, a touch grassy bite (depending on how it’s steeped), maybe a hint of floral, and very very green.

Origin: Uji, Kyoto, Japan

Preparation: Use 1 full Tb per 8-12 oz of 175º water. Steep 45 seconds. Good for three delicious infusions.

{If this method is too strong, simply use a little less tea or a little more water}

Moderately Caffeinated
