From the serene slopes near majestic Mount Fuji in Shizuoka, Japan, comes our early spring-picked Sencha, gently steamed to preserve its natural sweetness and robust aroma. Grown on a tranquil, family-owned estate with a century-old legacy of producing the world’s finest green teas, this Sencha benefits from a unique cultivation method: the tea leaves are shaded for two weeks before hand-plucking to enhance their sweetness.
