steamed which is often enjoyed by Japanese as a refreshing beverage in daily
life and is easy to brew to individual taste preferences.
PROFESSIONAL SELECTION OF TEA - In order to ascertain the quality of tea
leaves, the tea experts will carefully check the quality of tea leaves from
year to year. We choose the finest quality of tea leaves and blend them with a
good ratio. We mainly use the 1st harvest tea of Yabukita and Saemidori.
QUALIFIED MANUFACTURING PROCESS - The far-infrared roasting method is used in
the manufacturing process of this sencha green tea. This roasting method draws
out the umami, brings out the original impactful aroma of tea, and creates a
rich taste.
HOT BREW & COLD BREW - Two most common ways to enjoy flavorful sencha green
tea are hot brewing and cold brewing. Hot brewing method retains the health
benefits of tea leaves and helps stay energized for the day while cold brew
sencha green tea (Mizudashi Sencha) is considered to give a superior flavor and
taste and especially a refresh drink during hot summer.
Natural Tea Plantation in Japan
We carefully select the finest quality organic green tea from Uji, Kyoto,
Japan. Wazuka Town in Uji, where tea fields spread in the mountains in the
southern part of Kyoto Prefecture. It has been a production area of the finest
Uji sencha for over 1,000 years. In the Edo period, the Uji green tea was even
delivered to the Imperial Palace.
We have collaborated with local tea masters and we have a delightful tea
plantation that has been protected by the tea farmers for over 350 years since
the Genroku era. 100% JONA & JAS organic certified. No chemical fertilizer.
Clear air, the natural conditions such as climate, soil and the fog from
Watsuka River bring out the umami of tea and it is said to be the most suitable
place for tea cultivation. Japanese organic green tea is very valuable as it
accounts for only 4% of the total tea production in Japan.
Qualified Tea Selection And Manufacturing Process
In order to ascertain the quality of tea leaves, the tea experts will
carefully check the quality of tea leaves from year to year. We choose the
finest quality of tea leaves and blend them with a good ratio. We mainly use
the 1st harvest tea of Yabukita and Saemidori. The tea leaves of sencha green
tea are cultivated in an open-air tea farm and it is grown under the sunlight
directly. Sencha Green Tea is a representative of Japanese green tea,
accounting for about 70% of the total distribution volume. The tea leaves grow
thick by absorbing plenty of sunlight, so the tea leaves are thick with a deep
green color and a deep rich aroma.
1. Tea Picking
In general, hand-picked sencha has 2-3 leaves per core, and
mechanically-picked sencha has 4-5 leaves per core. Freshly plucked fresh
leaves are still alive and breathing, so they generate heat.
2. Fanning And Humidifying
If the freshly picked leaves are left as they are, they immediately begin to
ferment and heat up. To prevent loss of quality and maintain freshness, the raw
leaves are fanned with damp air to help maintain their moisture and dissipate
the heat given off by the fresh leaves.
3. Steaming
To halt the oxidizing and fermentation action of enzymes on the leaves,
preserve their green color and remove the "grassy" odor, the tea leaves are
steamed using non-pressurized steam. The length of the steaming process is said
to be a key determinant in the tea's flavor, aroma and color. The steaming
process has a significant effect on the sencha's color and quality.

After the first brew, re-brew with hotter water and wait for less time, and
make sure to pour to the last drop every time.

personal preferences.
Note to Brew Good Tea]
Use Soft Water and boil it in a kettle, allowing it to sit for 3-5 minutes to
remove any chlorine smell.
Using lower temperature water can bring out more amino acid (Umami Taste),
which makes tea tastes better and prevents the tea from becoming too astringent
or bitter.
It is hard to regulate the amount of tea needed to fit everyone’s taste, so
try several times to find your own perfect amount.
The lower the water temperature, the longer the tea takes to brew and turn
light green.
