Sencha is Japan’s most consumed type of green tea-and for good reason. Its vibrant character, rich in umami, freshness, and antioxidants, has made it a daily staple in Japanese households and a favorite among green tea enthusiasts worldwide.

Our Sencha Kagoshima is a premium grade blend sourced from carefully selected tea gardens in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan’s southernmost tea producing region. Known for its lush volcanic soil, clean water, and ideal microclimate, Kagoshima has emerged as one of Japan’s top terroirs for high-quality green teas. This blend delivers a well rounded infusion with a balance of flavor, aroma, and body, making it a versatile tea for both daily enjoyment and deeper appreciation.

The aroma profile is a fresh-cut grass, steamed greens, and marine notes with a taste of grassy and vegetal with soft umami undertones, slightly sweet with a gentle astringency and clean finish with lingering freshness. Once infused has a bright olive green color.

The depth of flavor found in this Sencha is the result of both the careful selection of cultivars and the traditional steaming method (Chumushi or Fukamushi) used during processing. Steaming halts oxidation immediately after harvest, locking in nutrients and giving Japanese green teas their signature profile. While Sencha is now produced in various countries including large scale production in China mainly for flavored tea blends authentic Japanese Sencha remains unmatched in complexity and quality.

A well calibrated flavor that reflects the skill of Japanese tea masters. This tea is a perfect introduction to the world of high-quality Japanese Sencha or an excellent everyday tea for experienced drinkers looking for consistency and value. One of the joys of Sencha Kagoshima is its ability to deliver multiple satisfying infusions from the same leaves

As with all Japanese steamed green teas, Sencha Kagoshima is rich in Catechins (notably EGCG), powerful antioxidants linked to immune and cardiovascular support, L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation and focus; Chlorophyll and vitamins, contributing to detoxifying and energizing effects. Thanks to the steam processing method, these compounds are preserved more effectively than in pan-fired teas.

Sencha Kagoshima is an ideal green tea for both beginners and connoisseurs. With its bold vegetal profile and easy preparation, it bridges daily wellness and refined taste in a single cup. Whether you’re looking for a tea to energize your morning, accompany your meals, or enjoy during moments of calm, this authentic Japanese Sencha offers freshness, health benefits, and tradition in every infusion.
