YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Organic Japanese Sencha Loose Leaf 2.82oz — First-Harvest, Far-Infrared Roasted

YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Organic Sencha is a small-batch, loose-leaf green tea from Uji, Kyoto, delivering a naturally sweet, umami-rich cup crafted by generations of tea farmers.

Harvested in the historic tea region of Uji and certified organic by JONA & JAS, this sencha uses first-harvest leaves from Yabukita and Saemidori cultivars. Leaves are gently steamed, carefully blended in limited quantities, and finished with far-infrared roasting to deepen aroma and flavor. The 2.82 oz pack brings a premium, versatile Japanese green tea experience suitable for both hot and cold brewing methods.
