Organic Sencha

Our organic sencha green tea products are certified organic by one or more authorized certifying agencies, both within and outside of Japan. Because finding a really stellar organic sencha green tea is not always an easy thing to do, our selection will always be a bit more limited than our non-organic sencha. Like all of the green teas we carry, we hold out for the "better" qualities and often reject many samples that do not meet our standards for taste and quality - organic or not. Below we present those which came to our attention, which were a cut above the rest.
