Shizuoka, Japan

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.

Daily Necessity

I've been drinking this tea for months (purchased on Amazon before this) and it has become a part of my daily routine. It is the perfect pick me up in the morning or during lunch! I am subscribed to 2 refills a month for my husband and I!

Smooth fresh

The best green tea Ive had

I love the flavor of this tea. It is the highest quality I have seen available especially in the US. It also happens to be the best value! Highly recommend.

High quality tea

I wanted an authentic, organic sencha from Japan. This has a mellow and smooth flavor.
Nice brilliant color and aroma. My wife and I love it.

Good flavor, but crumbled leaves

I was disappointed by the quality of the loose leaf tea, lots of crumbled leaves, almost powder. So small that even my fine strainer would not catch it all.
Thankfully the flavor is good. I won’t buy it again, will look for larger filler leaves.
