Mizudashi Sencha
Special Yutakamidori senchas suited for refreshing cold brews (mizudashi). Cold brewing emphasises the strong, full-bodied notes of this rare southern cultivar, while deep fukamushi steaming enables an even fuller extraction of its aromas without the bitter compounds.

Genmaicha is a mild, low-caffeine Japanese green tea blended with roasted brown rice for a savoury and malty flavour. The green tea used for genmaicha is typically bancha, although premium genmaicha may use sencha as a base.
Matcha Iri Sencha
Premium green teas dusted with ceremonial grade matcha from the first harvest. Exceptionally rich in catechins and amino acids, our fully shaded Ikkyu matcha has pronounced umami with a mild sweetness. This special profile results in beautifully bright, rich green tones in the cup and makes each vitalising Matcha iri blend unique.
Fukamushi Sencha
Fukamushi is a form of tea processing in which the leaves undergo an intense, long-lasting steaming. Offered here is a high-quality assortment of fukamushi from leading regions of Japan.
