This delicious organic sencha from the Chiran area (Kagoshima) is picked between June and July by Orita-en, one of the first tea growers to switch to organic farming in Japan. This high-grade green tea can be brewed very quickly, in just 40 seconds. Because of its low caffeine levels, it can be enjoyed at any time during the day.

It's very high levels of theanine and catechines guarantee high contents of amino acids and antioxidants, but also a very nice feeling of relaxation. Although its bitterness is obvious, its lightly roasted fragrance and low-key umami make this green tea the perfect match for a well-deserved break with some sweets.
