Yoshi En has recently grown out of Sunday Natural to become an independent premium tea store. As part of this transition, some products may still be shipped in Sunday Natural packaging.
Premium set of 3 premium organic Japanese green teas for daily enjoyment: gyokuro (fully shaded, ideal for the morning), sencha (1st harvest, mornings and afternoons), and bancha (afternoons and evenings). All teas are from the most recent harvest and directly flown from the farm.
- Broad range of nutrition contained in the 3 teas, all made with rich and healthy cultivars
- Gyokuro (morning): amino acids for an umami taste
- Sencha (mid-day): catechins and bitter substances
- Bancha (afternoons): milder than sencha, yang
- Together these teas support yin/yang balance throughout the day
- Directly sourced from organic farms
- Laboratory tested for pesticides and radioactivity
Organic Gyokuro Shibushi, Premium (92/100 p.)
This masterful gyokuro is the perfect tea for those who want to drink a larger quantity of gyokuro. Pleasant umami with a full-bodied and strong flavour. The taste is balanced between a distinctive sweetness and lightly bitter notes, very nourishing.
Organic Sencha Kirishima, Premium (92/100 p.)
A mountain sencha with a well-rounded taste, from the choice terroir of Makizono in Kirishima. The high elevation in the idyllic Kirishima Mountains lends this tea a pleasant taste that is full of character, yet sweet and mild. The leaves of the southern cultivars in this blend yield a full-bodied taste as a result of the superb growing conditions of the terroir as well as the brief steaming of the leaves themselves.
Organic Bancha Kaori, Premium (92/100 p.)
Aromatic and fresh, low caffeine organic bancha made from the rare kariban (刈番) middle harvest before the meban harvest. Custom-made for Sunday by the renowned organic farms Nishi and Nuruki Seicha in Kagoshima. Ideal as an evening tea.

Character
The 3 Classic Green Teas of Japan
As a result of the type of leaves used and the production process, each variety of green tea has its own individual characteristics. For this basic set we have chosen the 3 teas which we consider the most essential in any Japanese green tea collection. Each is suitable for daily use, and together they are a pleasure to enjoy over the course of the whole day.
- Gyokuro (umami): mornings
- Sencha (bitter): afternoons
- Bancha (alkaline): evenings
Laboratory Tests
We go to great lengths to identify the finest organic tea farms across the world’s most celebrated terroirs.

Each batch of tea for every harvest is tested for pesticides and other pollutants in an independent German lab to ensure they meet our strict quality standards as well as HACCP food safety requirements.
