Tasting Notes | A sweet-tasting tea that leaves a sensation of natural sweetness in the mouth.

For 35 years now, Irie san has invested his time and energy in growing 100% chemical and pesticide-free green tea. Tucked in the forest at nearly 600 meters above sea level in the Yame mountains, the tea leaves used by Irie san benefit directly from healthy and naturally enriched soil.

The most renowned plantations in Fukuoka prefecture are located in Yame area. Morning mists and river fogs are very frequent. Curtains of fog wrap green tea plantations, properly blocking sunlight. This helps in generating more amino acids (including theanine, glutamic acid, arginine, etc.) within the tea leaves. In addition, Yame enjoys an inland climate-high temperature during daytime and very cool and low temperatures at night.

The nutrients, minerals, and vitamins absorbed by the trees end up in the leaves, and so, eventually, in your cup, helping your body to remain strong and healthy. “Jun” is one of the few organic teas from the Yame area. The quality of this Sencha is exceptional. It yields a strong and refreshing taste, either in hot and cold brew.

Easy to brew, the Umami of this tea is very present, and the balance between bitterness and sweetness is exceptional. This tea is definitely one of our favorite and probably the best one to discover and enjoy Japanese green tea. Made in very small quantities by a farmer who relies on the sole power of nature, it is an exceptional and rare tea that even our clients in Japan are surprised to discover. Irie san’s tea has passed the most stringent tests, including those set up in Germany, making it a perfectly safe and healthy beverage to enjoy.

Yae-Midori Sencha Matcha | 100g - Shizen Cha LLC

MY FAVORITE TEA OF ALL TIME!

LOVE THIS TEA! HAS GREAT UMAMI FLAVOR! IT TASTES LIKE IT HAS KOMBU MIXED IN! THEY USED TO HAVE IT IN THE ASIAN MARKETS OF THE SUBURBS OF CHICAGO, BUT NOT ANYMORE. LOOK FORWARD TO PURCHASING LOTS OF BAGS!

Fresh green tea!

We live in Ohio and have a hard time finding good quality loose leaf tea. I located the Yae-Midori tea that we drink all the time from Shizen Cha and was very pleased to find out they ship to the Midwest. Not only did we receive the order sooner than expected, it was also very fresh and not stale as sometimes they can be. I will order from them again.

This sencha is a pleasant surprise. Its freshness and flavors are of a high quality. It is lighter, more delicate, than other common senchas that have longer steaming processes. Leaf it a little heavier and savor a subtle richness.
Much higher quality than most at this price.
Very fortunate to have tried it.
Thank you.

Nishio, Aichi | 西尾市愛知

Aichi Midori Sencha | 100g

$21.99

Harvested directly from in Nishio, Aichi, Japan. Sencha Tokujyo tasting notes contain delicate sweetness, mild astringency, deep umami, and flowery-green aroma.

Sencha is the most well-known variety of green tea as well as the most popular kind in Japan. In order to make sencha, tea leaves are steamed within a few hours after harvest, thus stopping the oxidation process, then rolled into needles, thus making sure that the leaves’ natural green color is preserved. This process also helps the leaves retain their fragrance and components.
