Description

Withered sencha is a distinctive and increasingly popular twist on traditional sencha, offering a more refined and complex flavor experience. Produced by Masahiro Okutomi, a 15th generation tea farmer based in Sayama and an extremely well-respected tea farmer in Japan, this tea has earned numerous accolades for its exceptional craftsmanship. Carefully withered to enhance its depth, this green tea delivers a smoother, more aromatic cup compared to its traditional counterpart. The gentle withering process softens the bold vegetal notes typically found in sencha, allowing delicate, floral and slightly sweet flavors to shine through.
