Harney & Sons calls this tea Japanese Sencha to highlight its true origin—because not all Senchas on the market are genuinely from Japan. This particular Sencha hails from the central Shizuoka province, a region renowned for producing some of the country’s finest green teas.

Widely enjoyed in homes throughout Tokyo, it offers a pleasant, approachable flavor that’s ideal for everyday sipping. In fact, Harney & Sons' founder, John Harney, began each morning with this very cup—a simple, grounding ritual that reflected his love for quality and tradition.

Each box contains 20 teabags.

Each teabag brews one 6-8 oz. cup of tea.

Each teabag is individually wrapped, making it perfect for travel or sharing with a friend!
Features
  • Details: The Kaburagi family has sold to Americans for over 110 years. They are well known in Tokyo and throughout Japan as a pre-eminent supplier of tea. They supply this pleasant Sencha from central Shizuoka. To keep the price somewhat reasonable, Harney & Sons choose teas from the middle of the season. John Harney drank this tea everyday for over 10 years. He valued the pleasant flavor and the antioxidants.
  • Dry leaves: The leaves from this tea are a medium lime green color. Since this is a traditional sencha (futsumushi), the leaves are more identifiable than in the deep-steamed fukamushi.
  • Liquor: The liquor is a medium green, not as intense as the Ichiban. The green is a truer green than the Bancha, which tends more towards yellow.
  • Aroma: Harney & Sons' Japanese Sencha has pleasant spinachy notes, with slight roast flavors that are similar to toasted bread.
  • Flavor: This is a very pleasant green tea. The mild vegetal flavors with light accents of citrus and toast make this a tea that can handle all your moods, every day.
  • Caffeine level: Caffeinated
  • Body: Medium-bodied. As a mid-season Sencha, this green tea has good levels of amino acids and more body than most green teas.
  • Brewing time: 2 to 3 minutes 
  • Brewing temp: 160º F
