This elegant sencha is gently aromatized with small dried pieces of peel, white pith and flesh from five varieties of Japanese citrus fruits, all cultivated without pesticides (hassaku, daidai, lemon, kinkan, and komikan). As hot water meets the tea leaves and citrus, a vivid juiciness unfolds—bright, refreshing, and reminiscent of freshly squeezed fruit, awakening the senses. Discover the harmony between citrus and sencha, an unusual yet refined pairing that leaves a clean, invigorating finish.
