What Rishi Tea Says About Their Tea
Sencha is the traditional, daily steamed green tea of Japan. Our Sencha is made from prized tea bush cultivars including Sae Midori 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.
