This Organic Sencha Saeakari (meaning «bright and clear») is an exceptional Japanese green tea known for its vibrant green liquor, deep savory umami, and complete lack of harsh bitterness. This is the first year we’ve offered Saeakari sencha, which is a cross between the delicious Saemidori and robust Z1 cultivars. While Saemidori is famous for its incredible, refined flavor, it is notoriously fragile for farmers to grow. Saeakari was created specifically to keep Saemidori’s elite tea quality while adding a much tougher, more resilient backbone. It is a robust, fast-establishing plant. It shrugs off cold weather much better and possesses built-in resistance to major crop blights. This allows organic farmers to grow premium-grade tea without relying on synthetic chemical treatments. You’ll find it to be very deep and fresh.
