Description

Enrich your life with Japan’s most traditional loose leaf green tea; sencha.

Our award-winning, signature sencha is steamed in the Fukamushi, or "deep-steamed" style characteristic of southern Shizuoka, and then finished with a high roasting; the specialty of the Sugimoto family. The high heat finishing roast brings out a rich aroma and lingering umami finish that is consistent even after multiple steepings.

Enjoy the Sugimoto family’s best-selling sencha in a resealable foil pouch that will be kept fresh for months of enjoyment.

Fragrant and Flavorful

Sugimoto's loose leaf sencha is fragrant and flavorful. It has all the tasting notes one would expect from a high-quality sencha. Having lived and worked in Japan and tasted sencha from different tea-growing regions, I am partial to sencha from Shizuoka Prefecture. However, since I returned to the United States, I haven't found many tea farmers in that region who can ship overseas. Now that I've discovered Sugimoto, I will be ordering more tea from this company. Very highly recommended!

Simple Green Tea

Such a great daily driver of a tea, wonderful and simple. Very rich in umami flavors, as well as very herbal.

Enrich Sencha Loose Leaf Tea from Sugimoto: A Flavorful Delight

I am very impressed with this tea, and very pleased to see it offered in a smaller portion but large enough to really get to know this tea. The aroma was a deep vegetal decent, reminiscent of steamed vegetables, with a subtle nutty undertone. The flavor profile was impressive with a balance of sweetness and umami and a distinct grassy taste that was not too overpowering. The finish was smooth with just a hint of astringency that gave it a pleasant mouthfeel and brought a nice balance to the tea. Overall, I was impressed with this tea's complexity of flavors and quality. It's a great choice for green tea enthusiasts looking for a well-rounded taste experience.

Fantastic for price

This is some of the best green tea I've had. It's grassy, vegetal, nutty, and a hint of sweet and not bitter at all. It's also a great value.

Best of 3 I bought, this beat out the others that cost 50% more, very impressed.

Preference is subjective, I know, so I ill not name drop. But I will say this..... I have drank this variety of Japanese green tea for a very long time and have tried many different varieties. So I was on the hunt for some good and not too expensive Japanese green tea. I bought this item, and two other ones. This one was 10ish dollars, the other 2 were 16ish. Kind of expensive for the amount you get...... but interestingly, this one was far superior in concentration, taste, and value $. I only use a little bit to make a thermos. It is vividly green. I nearly always overdo it because the small amount I put seems like it would not be enough. The other varieties I was putting almost double for the same strength. All three were the same consistency as far as how much the leaves were ground (so it was not a surface area thing). So I decided today to order two more of these. Very happy with this brand. Every time I drink it I am like wow this is good green tea. I think most people that appreciate that special flavor from good Japanese green tea will be impressed with this, especially for the money. I have had almost as good for less money, but it was hard to find most of the places I have lived. And those other brands I recently had that cost 50% more just could not compete IMO.

Five Stars

Excellent quality. Grassy, vibrant. Also good enough for up to 4 infusions. Highly recommended.

Great tea!

Amazing flavor and color! Resealable bag is really nice to retain freshness.

Poor mans delicacy

Save this for a day you want to spoil yourself. It is pricey for the quality, but higher in quality. Not the best you ever had, but worth the buy. I suggest buying 4 bags to keep you set for the month if this is your only stash.

A great loose green tea for your money

This is now my go-to loose green tea. A couple of punches in my tea strainer is all it takes for a flavorful up of green tea. Great value. I switched from the big name producer of loose green tea and have found this brand to be every bit as fresh and flavorful
