Japanese Green Sampler

With our Japanese Green Sampler, we have brought a little of everything Honshu has to offer.  Steamed, with notes of asparagus and fresh cut grass, Japanese green tea is highly valued for it’s healthy properties.

Sencha Fuka-midori – The fresh, grass-like flavor with a fine sweetness is a pleasure for every Sencha enthusiast.

Bancha Suruga – Compared to Sencha, Bancha is somewhat more astringent. Nevertheless, it is appreciated in Japan for its robust flavor

Genmaicha – This tea uses high-quality Bancha and premium Japanese short-grain rice. The balanced marriage of green tea and rice make this tea an ideal beverage for a macrobiotic diet.

Senkukicha – Senkukicha is often enjoyed for its salubrious nature, our organic green kukicha is comprised of non-roasted tea twigs and leaves.

Hojicha  – As a tradition, on the bit, coarse, pale green leaves (also known as ‘Bancha’) are steamed, dried and then roasted in small batch ovens in making Houji-cha
