EMPTEA Sencha Loose Leaf Japanese Green Tea (Asamushi First Harvest, Organic) 2.82 oz – Floral, Lightly Steamed

Experience EMPTEA's Sencha Loose Leaf Japanese Green Tea, a refined Asamushi first harvest with lightly steamed leaves that preserve a refreshing flavor and a floral aroma. The result is a fragrant, smooth cup with subtle sweetness and a clean finish.

Grown on Japanese farms following JAS Organic farming standards, this blend emphasizes responsible cultivation. While the final packaged tea is not labeled organic, the farms prioritize sustainable practices. Each pouch (2.82 oz / 80 g) is sealed in aluminum-lined material to lock in freshness from the first pour to the last cup.

Flavor, aroma, and sensory notes

The asamushi processing releases a floral bouquet and a delicate umami tone, offering a balanced, uplifting tea experience. When cooled into Mizudashi cold brew, the floral notes become more pronounced, enhancing a refreshing finish on a warm day.

• Fragrant bouquet with a smooth, lightly sweet profile
• Delicate umami undertones that stay crisp through multiple infusions
• Bright, clear liquor and pleasing aroma

Brewing versatility and pairing ideas

Whether enjoyed hot or cold, this Sencha pairs well with a range of foods and traditions. It complements traditional Japanese confections as well as Western pastries, providing a harmonious counterpoint to sweets or a neutral backdrop for milder bites.

• Hot brew: ideal at 70–80°C for 1–2 minutes to bring out aroma
• Mizudashi cold brew: steep and refrigerate for a refreshing ready-to-drink option
• Experiment with longer or shorter steep times to emphasize floral or umami notes
