This Japanese green tea is a hit! The Otsuka family, who supply several Japanese green teas to us, did a great job with this Sencha. Sencha Scent of Mountains originates from Kawane, the highest tea region within the vast Shizuoka tea region. Although not as high as Darjeeling or Uva, it is high for Japanese tea gardens. The cooler air contributes to the delightful aroma. The body of this Sencha is lighter than other Senchas due to its lack of deep steaming. People love the delicious light vegetal taste and distinctive aromas. This brew remains one of the most popular teas at our SoHo flagship store.

William K. ★★★★★

Steeping this at 70°C brought out a sweet, grassy note with almost no bitterness. You can tell it comes from high-grown Kawane leaves — the second steep was even smoother than the first.

Ellie ★★★★★

The Otsuka family clearly knows what they're doing with this one. Steeping it at 70°C brought out a sweet, grassy flavor with almost no bitterness, and the leaves unfurled beautifully in my glass teapot.

Mia ★★★★★

Kawane-grown really comes through—the second steep turns sweet and grassy where the first is sharper. I've been brewing it at 70°C and it stays smooth without any bitterness.
