Discover the allure of Kagoshima Sae Midori sencha, a premium first-harvest green tea originating from the lush, southern regions of Japan. At O-Cha.com, we take pride in being pioneers, introducing this exceptional sencha to the global market. Since its debut, Sae Midori has enchanted tea enthusiasts with its exquisite qualities.

This remarkable tea is cultivated from a blend of Yabukita and Asa-Tsuyu tea plants, a combination first registered in 1990. Thriving in the warm and frost-free climate of Southern Kagoshima, Sae Midori produces leaves that are a vibrant emerald green, releasing a sweet, grassy aroma that captivates the senses. It stands out both visually and aromatically, making it a prized addition to any tea lover's collection.

Brewing Sae Midori is an enjoyable experience, especially when using a teapot designed for fukamushi-cha, which is ideal for its fine, dust-like leaves. This brewing method brings out the best of its deep-steamed attributes, enhancing the overall tea experience.

Invite the exquisite flavors of Kagoshima Sae Midori into your home with our 100-gram packages. We are confident this sencha will quickly become a beloved staple in your tea routine.

A few years back, we stumbled upon a real treasure and immediately knew we had to have it—this incredibly delicious sencha green tea. It is crafted from the tender young buds that haven't quite reached full maturity, which gives it a unique gentle sweetness and a taste that lingers beautifully after each sip. This tea, our 100% Yabukita "Mio", comes from the first flush of spring leaves, right from the Sakabe District of the Makinohara Plateau—Japan's top spot for tea thanks to its superior soil and climate.

What sets Sencha "Mio" apart is its medium steaming process, which imparts a subtle sweetness that is distinctly pleasant. It's a flavor that stays with you, perfectly balancing sweetness with a light astringency that keeps it interesting cup after cup. This Yabukita variety captures the essence of those still-maturing young buds, known as miru-me, blending their charm with an exquisite softness that makes it one of the finest green teas you can find in Shizuoka.

Mio's sibling green tea, Haruna, also grown in the same district, is harvested just a day or two later. This slight delay allows the leaves to develop a bit more, deepening the flavor but reducing that characteristic softness just a tad.

Mio is wonderfully easy to brew, though we do recommend using a teapot designed for fukuamushi-cha to get the best results. Just remember not to use water that's too hot, or steep it too long, or use too much leaf.

Here's a little tip for brewing: cool your water to about 70 degrees Celsius (160 F) and watch carefully as the tea leaves unfurl to their full extent.

Like all our loose-leaf green teas, Mio is freshly packaged in nitrogen-filled bags to ensure it reaches you in peak condition.

Each package contains 100 grams of this delightful tea, promising many cups of serene, enjoyable moments.

Introducing Uji Sencha Miyabi, a masterfully blended sencha from the revered tea fields of Uji, near Kyoto. Harvested during the first flush of spring, this sencha is celebrated for its exceptional aroma and top-notch quality. Miyabi, a longstanding favorite, is perfect for those who cherish the fresh, grassy notes characteristic of premium green tea.

Miyabi is crafted using a selection of sencha varieties, each contributing to its complex and inviting aroma. From the moment you open the package, the distinctive scent assures you of the delightful experience that awaits. Whether you're a longtime green tea lover or new to the world of tea, Miyabi offers a sophisticated flavor that's sure to impress.

Now available in 100gm packages, Uji Sencha Miyabi is ready to elevate your tea drinking experience. Indulge in the luxury of one of our most cherished blends and discover why it remains an all-time favorite.

Discover the delightful richness of Shizuoka Sencha Haruna, a green tea celebrated for its unmistakable sweetness and vibrant, full-bodied flavor. Grown in the nutrient-rich soils of the Makinohara plateau's Sakabe area, Haruna is harvested at the peak of its taste profile, ensuring each cup is a profound experience.

Named after the supplier's daughter, 'Haruna' embodies growth and strength, mirroring the robust and resilient character of this exceptional tea. This variety boasts a bold sweetness paired with a refreshing astringency and a cool, clean finish, offering a sophisticated tea-drinking experience.

While Haruna shares its origins with our 'Mio' green tea, being harvested just two days apart gives each a distinct flavor profile. Haruna is notably sweeter and more pronounced, whereas Mio is revered for its subtle softness. Both teas invite a delightful comparison to find your favorite.

Brewing Haruna is straightforward, but for the best experience, we recommend a teapot designed for fukamushi-cha. Proper brewing temperature and timing are crucial to capture the tea's essence. Packaged in nitrogen-filled bags to maintain freshness, each 100-gram package promises exceptional quality and flavor.

Explore the unique characteristics of Shizuoka Sencha Haruna and delight in its exquisite taste and aroma.

Experience the exquisite taste of Kagoshima Sencha Yutaka Midori "Madoka," a premium green tea crafted from the first harvest in the lush fields of Kagoshima prefecture, at Japan's southern tip. This distinct sencha variety offers a unique twist on our classic Yutaka Midori, featuring a smoother, less grassy flavor with a subtle astringency that enhances its rich profile. Rich in catechins, Madoka not only delights your palate but also offers a potent dose of antioxidants.

For the perfect cup, take care to monitor the water temperature and steeping time closely, ensuring every sip delivers the optimal balance of flavors. Available in convenient 100-gram packages, Madoka is an ideal choice for both green tea enthusiasts and newcomers looking to explore the subtleties of authentic Japanese sencha.
