A sencha of rare finesse and exceptional quality
Tea from Japan
The fruit of a spring harvest, this sencha offers a luminous cup with a soft, mellow texture. Its fresh fragrance, typical of the first harvests of the year, gives way to vegetal and fruity flavours on the palate, just as we've come to expect from Japan's most popular green tea.

Origin of ingredients
Kirishima, Kagoshima prefecture
Terroir
Kirishima is a town on the island of Kyūshū in southern Japan. The surrounding area is dominated by Mount Kirishima, an active volcano that dominates a mountainous landscape with a subtropical climate; summers are hot and humid and winters mild. Kirishima receives precipitation throughout the year, with a rainy season in summer. The soils are volcanic, due to the activity of the volcanoes in the Kirishima range. These fertile soils are well suited to tea production. Water resources are remarkable in the Kirishima region, fed by regular rainfall and groundwater. Several rivers cross the region, with the Amori River (天降川, Amorigawa) passing close to Kirishima. In addition, due to its volcanic activity, numerous lakes and craters have formed and become remarkable hydrological features of the region. Because of the altitude, the region's forests are home to a wide variety of sub-alpine and alpine trees, including Japanese cedars, oaks and maples.
Kirishima is famous for its Kirishima-Yaku National Park, which covers an area of around 548.32 square kilometers. A true biodiversity hotspot, the park is home to rare endemic species. Yakushima Island, a Unesco World Heritage site, is part of the park and is renowned for its population of Japanese monkeys and Sika deer, which live in harmony with Japanese cedars, some of which are over 7,000 years old.
Original tea
White, green, black and dark teas from China, India, Japan and elsewhere are all varieties from the same plant: the tea plant. Once plucked, the leaf is processed in different ways, undergoing numerous transformations. Depending on the terroir, the fineness of the leaf and the way it is processed, the result is an unlimited palette of tastes and vintages.
Organic farming
We have always offered organically grown teas and herbal teas, and used natural, organic flavours. We go even further, demanding that our suppliers use certified organic flavor carriers and solvents. Certified since 1994.
Did you know?
Sencha is a tea grown in the sun. It is harvested mainly in spring and summer. Careful observation of the dry leaves can help determine the type of harvest: spring leaves are thin and dark, while summer leaves are thicker and lighter.
Tea and food pairings
Steamed green teas go particularly well with rice-based dishes, fish and shellfish. They can also be paired with many goat's cheeses and sheep's cheese. They also work wonders with pastries, traditionally mochi, but also chocolate, lemon, red fruit or exotic desserts.
