First Cut Sencha - Classic Green Tea

Bright, fresh, and full of spring — First Cut Sencha is a classic Japanese green tea that captures the essence of renewal.

Sourced from the Hamada Estate in Chiran, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, this Sencha is made from the first plucking of the season, harvested within the first 80 days of spring. Revered in Japanese tea culture, these early leaves are packed with higher antioxidants and concentrated flavor compared to later harvests.

The result is a tea with layered oceanic notes, mingled with hints of pine resin, butter, and daffodil — a cup that feels like sipping springtime in the countryside.

Crafted using the Asamushi (light steaming) process, this Sencha allows the natural purity of the leaf to shine through with remarkable clarity.

📦 Available in a 5oz canister or a 1lb bag.
