Origin

Sencha is the most widely consumed green tea in Japan, making up the bulk of national tea production.

This high-grade Sencha Fuji is harvested in the spring and processed using the traditional Japanese steaming method to halt oxidation.

The leaves are then carefully rolled into slender, needle-like shapes and gently dried to lock in flavour.

Grown near the iconic Mount Fuji, this tea benefits from fertile volcanic soil and pure mountain air, contributing to its clean and elegant taste.
