Harumidori means “spring green” and is the name of the tea plant variety (cultivar) used for this top-grade Sencha green tea. Very high umami, intense sweetness, and a soft, mellow character are actually typical of shaded Gyokuro, yet the distinctive aroma of this Harumidori Sencha does not result from shading. The extremely rare cultivar, hand-picked by tea farmer Nobuyuki San, and a light aging process create the Gyokuro-like flavor along with a slightly sweet fruitiness. For anyone who loves the high umami and sweetness of Gyokuro but doesn’t want to sacrifice the freshness and fruitiness typical of Sencha, this tea is just right. Sencha Harumidori is a hand-picked Sencha green tea specialty with an incomparable character, aroma, and flavor.

Hana (花) means flower or blossom in Japanese and here the name says it all: a flowery, tangy top-quality green tea with good umami and a slightly grassy, fruity aftertaste.

A very smooth, mildly sweet, and full-bodied premium Sencha. Features a Gyokuro-like umami and slightly floral notes in the finish. Grown, harvested, and processed by Susumu San at his newly established tea farm in Kawane, Shizuoka, in the heart of Japan. Thanks to the slightly longer steaming process, the tea leaves are finer and the infusion is particularly aromatic, without any bitterness or harsh flavors. Very soothing and pleasant to drink.
