Satsuki Sencha is the fruit of the painstaking work of Shichimeien, one of the most famous and historic tea gardens in the Uji region. Its name comes from the word “Satsuki”, which denotes the last month of spring in the old Japanese calendar, indicating that this tea is picked in late spring.

The tea leaves are briefly shaded before picking, so that in addition to the fresh green aromas, a soft umami appears without leaning towards excessive sweetness. During steeping, it produces a vibrant, light green brew, the taste of which is clean, silky, slightly sweet, with delicate herbal notes and freshness developing in the background.

This sencha is a great example of the refined yet light experience that a traditional Japanese green tea can provide. The Shichimeien tea garden's long-standing experience spanning generations is clearly felt in this tea: every sip contains the legendary tea-making tradition of Uji.
