Fuka-midori Sencha is made from leaf that is plucked in the early spring. Our tea is a ichibancha, meaning tea that is made from the 1st plucking of sencha in the spring.

Almost all sencha is made from a blend of aracha - half made tea. The job of a sencha blender is to taste and find the appropriate blend of several arachas that when blended together will yield a naturally sweet cup of tea with just a touch of underlying bitterness.

Some tea companies cultivate their own tea and blend from their own aracha. Other companies pride themselves on their skill in blending and refining arachas from different tea growers and turning this half-made tea into a distinctive and delicious branded product.

Our Fuka-midori Sencha is extremely satisfying and delicious. The aroma of the tea is underscored by a subtle 'roasted' fragrance that is imparted to the leaves during the manufacturing process.

Use 1 teaspoon per 6 oz of water
