Yamadashi Sencha – Shichimeien, Uji • “raw charm, mountain freshness”

Yamadashi is Shichimeien's classic Uji-sencha, offered in aracha (partially refined) form: in addition to the leaf, the buds, stems and smaller parts are also present, so the tea retains the immediacy and "raw charm" of the mountain gardens. This gives it a full, yet fresh character and a long, clean finish. (Source: manufacturer's description)

Origin & style

  • Region: Uji, Kyoto – the historical center of Japanese tea.
  • Producer: Horii Shichimeien – a long-established tea producer linked to the heritage of the “Seven Famous Uji Tea Gardens”.
  • Style: Yamadashi (mountain picking), aracha -like – direct, juicy, energetic profile. Sencha before sorting.

Processing in brief

Freshly picked in spring, steamed ( asamushi–chumushi range), cooled and gently rolled, then dried. In the aracha style, the tea is not fully post-sorted and “beautified” – giving it a fuller, more layered flavor.

Flavor profile

  • Aroma: fresh grass, young leaves, slight sweet-nutty nuance.
  • Taste: full, yet fresh sip; green herbal sweetness, white almond and algae-mineral line, delicate umami.
  • Finish: clean, cool sensation, long, sweet aftertaste.

  • 5 g tea / 200 ml soft water
  • 70–75°C

  • Refrigerate for 6–8 hours
  • Result: a crystal clear, sweet-green, refreshing cup.

  • For morning focus, afternoon “reboot”.

Note: The proportions are a guide; water quality and cup/gaiwan/kyusu size may require fine-tuning.
