A fresh, spring green tea from Uji, Japan.  Produced in early May, this tea is prized from its freshness.  Bright green color, aroma, and taste make this fresh spring sencha unbelievably satisfying.  Flavors of savory steamed spinach and hints of deep seaweed dominate with just a touch of cut grass in the finish.  Vitality in a cup!

The quintessential Japanese green tea from the original Japanese tea town, Uji.  Fresh spring tea leaves are gently steamed and processed into a deep green, needle-like finished tea.  The tea brews a pale, emerald green with fresh aromas of grass and sweet peas.  The flavor is balanced and satisfying with slight, green astringency, mild sweetness, and a touch of savory umami.  A perfect tea to sip during an afternoon drizzle.

A deeply satisfying spring green tea form Kagoshima.  Delicate, deep green leaves from the Saemidori varietal give this tea an intensely deep green flavor.  The tea brews thick with a shimmery blue/green color.  Wet, mossy forest aromas with hints of umami seaweed give way to a semi-sweet, gyokuro-like, after taste.  A rich green tea to drink while contemplating the bounties of nature.
