Sencha Nº2
🌸🌊 The new 2026 harvest has arrived 🍃🛬
This refreshing first-harvest green tea from 2026 comes from Mr. Haruki of Miyakonojou (Miyazaki) on the southern island of Kyushu, Japan. It is a light and fresh-smelling sencha with a bright, light-green infusion, a subtle spiciness, floral notes, and a sweet, fruity aroma. The dark-green, needle-shaped tea leaves are a testament to the high quality of this sencha. Like all of our green teas, it is completely pesticide-free.

This loose-leaf Sencha has a mild, fresh, and aromatic flavor. After brewing, it has a very fruity aroma and a light green color. Compared to our Sencha No. 1, it is slightly milder and not quite as intense, giving it a somewhat more refined and balanced character.

Mr. Haruki has been growing green tea for 17 years and is the fourth generation to do so. He runs his own family business on the southern island of Kyushu. His great-grandfather was a green tea pioneer who moved from Shizuoka to Miyazaki (Kyushu) over 100 years ago to introduce the modern cultivation of green tea. The 5-man operation consists of just Haruki-san, his wife, his parents and his younger brother.

The Sencha is of course grown completely pesticide-free and without chemical fertilizers. We have also had this checked externally - you can see the pesticide report in the picture gallery above. So you can be sure that our tea is 100% free of pollutants.
Mr. Haruki uses Yabukita cultivar tea bushes for his fresh Sencha. You can not do anything with it? We explain it in our FAQ.

1-2 teaspoons per cup / 70 degrees / 60-90 seconds
The loose tea is infused in a pot with a strainer. Alternatively, you can use fillable disposable tea bags. It is a sweet, aromatic and smooth green tea and tastes both beginners and green tea connoisseurs. Our tutorial video below shows you the classic preparation.
More infusions
It can, like any good Sencha, of course, be infused several times. So you have not only longer something from the tea but it also dissolves more and more healthy substances from the tea. Here you can try different temperatures and infusion times to find out what you like best.
Cold infusion
Our Senchas are also particularly suitable for cold brewing: simply pour cold water over twice the amount of Sencha and leave to infuse for 5-10 minutes. The delicious refreshment is ready.
Our tutorial video below shows you this simple and super refreshing preparation method.
Storage
The Sencha comes in a sealed and resealable flavor bag. The removal is thus super easy and the tea stays fresh for a long time.
