Light Steamed Green Tea

light steamed green teaAsamushi Sencha The green teas in this category, known in Japanese as "asamushi-cha", or light steamed green teas, are steamed for a shorter period of time than your typical sencha. The period in which any green tea is steamed depends on various characteristics such as where it was grown, elevation, etc. Like deep steamed green tea, not all green teas are suitable for light steaming.

        Uji Shincha Kirameki

        We're excited to offer the exclusive Uji Shincha Kirameki from the historic Tsuen Tea Shop, Japan’s oldest teashop, nestled on the scenic banks of the Uji River for over 860 years. Unlike our other teas, the Kirameki is a once-a-year treat during shincha season, and once it’s gone, you’ll have to wait until next year to get more. After shincha season, Tsuen Tea introduces a similar, yet not identical, blend called Ujibashi San no Ma, but there’s something truly special about the Kirameki.

        Crafted from select 100% Uji-grown Yabukita leaves from the first harvest, this lightly steamed sencha (asamushi) captivates with its fresh, grassy aroma and elegant flavor. Don’t miss your chance to experience one of the finest Japanese green teas available.

        Snag your 100-gram package now and savor the unique delights of shincha season!

                Sae Midori Organic Asamushi Sencha

                Packed with umami and one of our personal favorites, this delicious green tea comes from Kagoshima and is of course harvested from the first round of young leaves.  When we first offered this in 2017, we knew we would buy it the moment we tried it. Organic Sae Midori asamushi is a light steamed green tea of the Sae Midori clone and is somewhat rare to be processed in the light steamed form. This product is both flavorful and aromatic, much more so than the typical deep steamed Sae Midori. If you are a light-steamed green tea fan, you should really enjoy this one.  As with all of our loose leaf green teas, packaged in nitrogen flushed packaging.

                Note - While we will try to get a larger inventory this year, know that this tea usually sells out every year by December.

                Price shown includes 100 grams of tea per package

                    Organic Kabusecha Sae Midori

                    This green tea comes from Kirishima City, Kagoshima and is of course harvested from the first round of young leaves. Organic Sae Midori Kabusecha is grown for 14 to 20 days under 45% shade before harvest giving it taste characteristics of both sencha and gyokuro. This light steamed (asamushi) version comes from the Sae Midori clone and it is somewhat rare to be processed in kabusecha form.  A sweeter, less astringent taste than regular sencha, it has a lovely green color and is quite flavorful. Brew as you would for sencha. As with all of our loose leaf green teas, packaged in nitrogen flushed packaging.

                        • Asanoka Sencha

                          Grown in Kagoshima Prefecture. Somewhere between light and medium steamed. We knew we had to acquire this when we tasted it as it has a quite strong aroma and very pleasant umami taste. Very nicely balanced this has been priced competitively and is a very good value considering its high quality. Very delicious, we are confident you will enjoy this product. As with all of our loose-leaf green teas, packaged in nitrogen flushed packaging.

                                    Loose leaf asamushi sencha will usually have large leaf particles and are suitable to be brewed in all types of Japanese green teapots, including those with ceramic "sesame" filters. When brewed, light steamed green tea tends to have a clear, light appearance, usually a bit on the yellowish side, subtle flavors, but it is often quite aromatic.  Asamushi can also be somewhat astringent depending on the individual tea. If you've never tried a light steamed green tea, we do have the best in what Japan has to offer, try one today!
