This extremely rare green tea not only tends to be the first to be plucked every year on Honshū, Japan’s main island. Its partly Indian genome also gives rise to a unique taste experience. It combines a sharp bitterness with a pleasant flowery aroma reminiscent of lilacs blooming in late May, as if to suggest that bright and sunny days are ahead.

It tastes good even when steeped in a way similar to black tea, in boiling hot water but with a minimum of leaves (2-3g tea leaves, 200ml boiling hot water, 3 minutes). "The First" also makes an excellent cold infusion.

This tea is grown in Mariko, a small community in Shizuoka that is famous for Wakōcha, or Japanese Black Tea. Usually plucked in early April, it tends to become the first tea to be harvested on the main island Honshū every year.

Ingredients: Pure Japanese Green Tea
Type: Orthodox Sencha

Origin: Mariko, Shizuoka Prefecture

About Senchaism

Where tradition meets creativity, and crafting skills intersect with art

There’s much more to Japanese green tea than the umami that initially hits the tastebuds. Ranging from floral and herbal to classic forest-like notes, single estate sencha is delightfully diverse. Senchaism is all about finding and sharing these unique taste experiences with tea lovers across the earth, and to support all the actors making them possible.

All our teas are cultivated and processed by skilled farmers and perfected by tea refiners with decades of experience in the field. This is the point where tradition meets creativity, and also where crafting skills intersect with art.

Senchaism was founded by Oscar Brekell, certified Japanese Tea Instructor and author of “A beginner’s guide to Japanese Tea”. The brand was created with a deep love for the culture surrounding Japanese green tea, and a sincere hope for the tradition to live on and flourish in the future as well. With our tea selection, we invite you to be part of this fascinating and ever-changing world.
