About this Product
Sencha is the traditional, daily steamed green tea of Japan. Our Sencha is made from prized tea bush cultivars including Saemidori and Okumidori, and is a blend of the first and second flush harvests from organic farms on Kyushu island in southern Japan. Kyushu's mineral rich volcanic soil, coupled with skillful organic soil management, creates a sweet and full-bodied green tea flavor. This chumushi sencha yields a slightly opaque, bold green infusion with deep umami and juicy mouthfeel.

The Best
Rishi's sencha is my all time favorite tea! I drink this every morning, extracting 2 delicious steepings
...
out of each serving. The flavor is vegetal, bright, and satisfying, without a bitter aftertaste. Perfectly balanced. I have tried many green teas, but now stick with this one and don't tire of it.

Not as good as the last batch.
Always pay attention to review dates for current tea batches. This Organic Sencha falls flat. Very light
...
almost nonexistent sweet grassy notes. I am as picky as a person gets. I have some Organic Sencha from the last batch I purchased in 2017 that was much better. Something that old that is in a tea tin and I literally compared it to what I just got in 2019 and it was much better. The best green tea I have ever had in my opinion was Kirishima Mountain Shincha Green Tea that I got in 2014 from Rishi. I purchased several bags, and only open one at a time, keeping the rest of the sealed bags in other ziplock bags, boxed in a closet. Had a cup of it yesterday and the taste was as good as the day I got it. I have been opening new bags once a year. The second infusion as good as the first. Never had that in a green tea before. I sometimes feel Rishi is at a loss for spectular teas, and because of this they settle. Unfortunately the failures are expensive for me. I take no pleasure in leaving negative reviews. However any good company will want to hear what the customers have to say.

Great way to start the day!
Though extravagant for an everyday morning tea, my husband cannot start the day without drinking a large

pot of Rishi's Japanese Sencha. This tea has a rich mouth feel, a verdant green hue and delivers a delectable vegetal palate.
