It's our pleasure to be able to offer the outstanding handpicked Uji sencha "Ujibashi San no Ma", from Japan's oldest teashop, Tsuen Tea. This item, (released as "Kirameki" when offered as shincha in the spring), is hand picked using only the top select 100% Yabukita leaves from the first harvest. It is harvested in a way no machine can ever hope to match. This lightly steamed sencha (asamushi) yields a very wonderful nice grassy aroma. Here is your chance to try some of the best of what Japan has to offer in Japanese green tea.

Beautiful color, and nice balance between rice and tea flavor. Bigger bag than I expected, too.

With similar responses to those before, I found the spring shincha 'Kirameki' to be a very high quality, and with the release of the 'Ujibashi San no Ma', the quality continues. The taste is refreshing, elegant and sweet, not at all bitter.

The shincha version (Kirameki) was my favorite shincha of 2008. The sencha version carries on the legacy. Wonderful and grassy aroma that lingers in the mouth. It is high priced, but worth every cent.

I had the last two years the shincha version of this light steamed (asamushi) sencha and I am now happy to be able to buy this sencha during the whole year.
Easy to brew, nice flavor and a very good value: its price is indeed quite high, but the quality is up there.

This is a grassy sencha that isn't overpowering -- and very elegant.

If you're looking for a sencha with real elegance, this is the one. The flavor has many nuances. Beautiful tea.
