Harney & Sons calls this tea Japanese Sencha because not all Sencha on the market is from Japan. This Sencha is a very fine one from the central Shizuoka province, and can be found in many homes in Tokyo. It is a pleasant and approachable green tea, a fine choice for everyday enjoyment.
Details: The Kaburagi family has sold to Americans for over 110 years. They are well known in Tokyo and throughout Japan as a pre-eminent supplier of tea. They supply this pleasant Sencha from central Shizuoka. To keep the price somewhat reasonable, Harney & Sons chooses teas from the middle of the season. John Harney drank this tea everyday for over 10 years. He valued the pleasant flavor and the antioxidants.
Dry Leaves: The leaves from this tea are a medium lime green color. Since this is a traditional sencha (futsumushi) the leaves are more identifiable than in the deep steamed (fukamushi).
Liquor: The liquor is a medium green, not as intense as the Ichiban. The green is a truer green than the Bancha, which tends more towards yellow.
Aroma: Our Japanese Sencha has pleasant spinach-y notes, with slight roast flavors that are similar to toasted bread.
Caffeine Level: Caffeinated
Body: As a mid-season Sencha, this green tea has good levels of amino acids and more body than most green teas.
Flavors: This is a very pleasant green tea. The mild vegetal flavors with light accents of citrus and toast make this a tea that can handle all your moods - every day.
