Sencha represents the pure and precise side of green tea and forms the foundation of this collection. Rooted in traditional craftsmanship, Sencha reflects a way of producing tea where freshness, origin, and careful processing are central to the final cup.
Sencha is produced by steaming freshly harvested tea leaves shortly after picking. This method stops oxidation and preserves the vivid green colour of the leaf, while shaping its characteristic needle like form. The infusion is clear and lively, with fresh grassy notes, subtle umami, and a refined bitterness that defines Japanese green tea. Depending on origin and harvest, the character can range from light and crisp to deeper and more expressive.
While Sencha stands at the centre of the collection, it is supported by other orthodox green tea styles that share the same respect for purity and technique. Japanese green teas are cultivated primarily on the islands of Honshū, Shikoku, and Kyūshū, where harvesting takes place from spring through early autumn. Only a limited selection is exported, making quality and freshness especially important.
The collection also includes related orthodox teas beyond Japan. Chinese green teas contribute a softer, pan fired expression with balance and elegance. White teas, gently withered and only lightly fermented, add a delicate and subtle dimension. Yellow teas, produced through a rare and controlled fermentation process using dry heat, offer a smooth character that sits between white and green tea and remains largely rooted in China.
The Sencha collection brings together these refined tea styles under one shared philosophy. It is made for those who appreciate green tea in its most honest form, where origin, craftsmanship, and natural balance define the experience.
