Hey green tea lovers! In case you're not familiar with it, let us introduce you to something truly special: Kagoshima Sae Midori. This first-harvest sencha comes straight from the southern tip of Japan and is a gem that's not to be missed.

We at O-Cha.com pride ourselves on being pioneers, as we were probably the first online shops to ever bring the delightful Sae Midori to tea enthusiasts all over the globe. And guess what? It's been a hit ever since!

Brewing this tea is a breeze! Sae Midori is a unique blend of Yabukita and Asa-Tsuyu tea plants, first registered in 1990. Thriving in the frost-free climes of Southern Kagoshima, this tea boasts a vibrant color and a tempting, sweet aroma that's reminiscent of fresh grass. Just opening the package sends out a wave of scent that's absolutely heavenly. It’s truly a spectacle in green, offering one of the richest emerald hues you'll ever see in a tea.

Here's a little tip: Sae Midori is a deep-steamed green tea with very fine leaves, almost like dust. While you can brew it in various teapots, it shines brightest when made in a teapot designed for fukamushi-cha. Trust us, it makes a difference!

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.

From the first harvest in Uji. Kabusecha is grown in the shade for 14~20 days before harvest under 45% shade, giving it characteristics of both sencha and gyokuro. A sweeter, less grassy and more vegetal, less astringent taste than regular sencha, you can definitely taste vegetive hints of gyokuro.  It is easy to brew, not overly astringent, medium steamed, has a lovely green color, and is reasonably priced making it an all-around versatile winner of a green tea. Although it has hints of gyokuro, be sure to brew it as you would for sencha, not gyokuro.

Available in 100-gram packages.

From the first harvest, Kagoshima Sencha Yutaka Midori "Madoka" is a very special sencha from Kagoshima prefecture located at the southern tip of Japan. Madoka is quite similar to our original Yutaka Midori but is a bit less grassy, has a bit less steaming, and a bit more astringency, which means it probably also packs a bit more catechin punch. Brew with a bit more caution by paying particular attention to brew temperature and brew time.  Try some today!

Available in 100 gram packages.

It's O-Cha.com's pleasure to be able to provide you with the Tsuen blend "Musashi", from Japan's oldest teashop, in a 140 gram package!

Very similar to Tsuen's Otsuusan, Musashi is less sweet with a bit more astringency for those who like a stronger tasting green tea. Try it today!

Kawane Wa-Kōcha is Japanese Black Tea grown in Kawane town (川根町), located in the Haibara District of Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. While this area is notable for its production of mainly green teas, it may be surprising to know there are numerous growers who specialize in producing black teas as well. This particular version is produced by a rather old and famous company founded in the 8th year of the Meiji period (ca 1875). The tea blender is a 73 year old tea master and uses high quality techniques in the orthodox manner similar to the way traditional Darjeeling is made, but with a Japanese touch. This tea has characteristics similar to both Darjeeling and Ceylon tea, has a strong aroma, a smooth flavor, and has hints of Japanese sweetness. Kawane Wa-Kōcha can be served straight or with milk and sugar (usually on the last infusion). The breed is a blend of Zairai and Benifuki clones. Unlike most Japanese produced black teas which usually come from the second harvest, due to the higher latitudes this tea is grown at, the producer blends this black tea with both first and second harvests, the ratio changing according to year and conditions. The resulting tea results in a more bold flavor than normally encountered with other Japanese black teas.

To brew this particular tea, unlike with traditional green tea, you can achieve best results by bringing fresh water to nearly the boiling point in a kettle (instead of an air pot or water heater), and brewing two teaspoons per 8 ounces of water for 3 to 4 minutes.

If you also enjoy black tea in addition to Japanese green tea, consider adding this rare item to your shopping cart today!

Package includes a full 100 grams of high quality Japanese black tea.

Meet Fukamushi Sencha "Kaoru" - a top-tier, first flush green tea that's sure to impress. Harvested from the young, vibrant spring leaves in the renowned Makinohara district of Shizuoka Prefecture, this 100% Yabukita brew is a showstopper. It's exceptionally green and thick, with a fresh, grassy aroma that's a bit more intense than your typical deep-steamed green tea. Plus, its taste lingers delightfully long after each sip.

Brewing it is a breeze (though a teapot for fukamushi-cha is recommended). Just remember to keep it cool—don't brew it too hot, too long to keep its flavors perfect. Like all our teas, it's packed fresh in nitrogen-filled bags to ensure maximum freshness.
