Sencha Superior
Aromatic and bright, this lightly steamed single-cultivar sencha from Shizuoka showcases a traditional bittersweet and balanced umami profile with a brisk, refreshing finish.
Crafted by artisans in Shizuoka Prefecture—a historic tea-growing region near Mt. Fuji—Sencha Superior is as classic as they come. It is made solely from Yabukita, a cultivar first selected in Shizuoka that went on to become a benchmark for Japanese sencha.
A departure from the deeper-steamed, fuller-bodied green teas we source from Kagoshima, this gently steamed asamushi sencha is light and lively with a brisk, refreshing finish. Brew it on a warm afternoon and pair it with sushi or some other light Japanese fare.
