Shizuoka Premium Sencha
Shizuoka Premium Sencha
This is the tea Japan drinks more than any other. The fresh buds are steamed, carefully massaged and dried — preserving everything the leaf has to offer. What you get is a savoury depth the Japanese call umami, balanced against a clean, gentle astringency, with a fragrance that lingers quietly after every sip. Not overpowering. Not shy. Just right.
- 🍃 Rich umami flavour with gentle astringency
- ☀️ Perfect any time of day
- 🔄 Re-steep 2–3 times for even more flavour
- 🌿 Direct from Nihondaira Ocha Kaikan, Shizuoka, Japan

Grown by Farmer Shizuoka,
Nihondaira hills
This gyokuro comes from the Nihondaira hills in Shizuoka. Fog rolls off the coast in the morning and sits over the tea rows until the sun burns it off. Harvest is in early May. For the last 21 days before picking, the plants are kept under cover. No sun. The leaves respond by producing more chlorophyll and theanine, which is where the deep green and the umami come from. The farm has been doing it this way for generations.
