This Sencha green tea is named after the cherry blossom flower petals that bloom at the beginning of Spring. Hence, this sencha green tea is light and crisp with a refreshing, grassy taste. This Asamushi Sencha comes from the predominant Yabukita cultivar in Japan. Since it’s lightly steamed, this sencha produces a light-bodied yellowish-green liquor. 

Sencha Brewing Instructions

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.

Masa Yamamoto learned the intricacies of tea harvesting at an early age from his father and grandfather, still keeping to traditional methods such as producing handmade fertilizer. He believes that the soil determines the quality of the organic tea, which can not be mass produced. Shizuoka has the best environment in Japan for growing tea, hence 40% of all Japanese teas are made in Shizuoka. Shimada City is especially known for it’s long history of producing high quality tea since the 1500’s.

Mr. Yamamoto’s favorite tea is a cup of Gyokuro that is freshly harvested in Spring. In his free time, he also enjoys growing his own fresh vegetables in his garden.
