Sencha is translated as “brewing tea” and it is the most popular tea in Japan.  It is an unshaded tea harvested late April- June. After the harvest, the tea leaves are steamed to stop them from oxidizing. The tea then undergoes the rolling process which shapes the leaves in beautiful needles.

Jugetsudo Organic Sencha Asa tea has a light emerald color, a pleasant fragrance of young spring leaves, medium astringency and refreshing finish.
