Harvested in early spring from the tea fields of Shizuoka, Hatsuzumi is a deep-steamed sencha made from young tea leaves picked at their peak. The deep steaming process preserves the tea’s vivid green color and fresh, full-bodied flavor, resulting in a rich and refreshing brew.

The name Hatsuzumi (はつづみ) , meaning “first picking,” reflects the tea’s refreshing character. With notes of fresh greens, sweet grass, and a gentle umami finish, each sip feels crisp, clean, and quietly energizing. Naturally rich in catechins and moderate in caffeine, Sencha Hatsuzumi is a daily staple that supports focus and well-being, perfect for morning rituals or a mindful afternoon reset.

煎茶の淹れ方

HOW TO BREW SENCHA

1 | Heat fresh, filtered water until boiled.

2 | Pour water into cups to warm the cup and cool down the water. You can also use a yuzamashi water cooler.

Recommended water temperature for Sencha is 176°F (80°C). The flavor will be lighter and sweeter when brewed at lower water temperatures such as 158°F (70°C). Try different brew times and temperatures to find your preference.

3 | When it reaches your desired temperature, pour water over the tea leaves. Steep for 1-1.5 minutes. This tea can be steeped up to 3 times.

煎茶の二煎目を楽しむ方法

HOW TO ENJOY SENCHA'S SECOND BREW

Did you know the second steeping of Sencha reveals a whole new flavor? After your first cup, keep the same leaves and brew again with slightly hotter water (around 185°F / 85°C) for 30–45 seconds.


This brings out a deeper umami flavor and a more aromatic, full-bodied cup. It’s a beautiful way to savor the evolving taste of high-quality Sencha — smooth, rich, and never bitter.
