Nishi Sencha First Flush

Nishi Sencha First Flush

Vivid, juicy and umami-rich, this organic first flush sencha brews into a luminous green infusion with a silky finish. This tea is crafted by our longtime partner Nishi-san in Kirishima, Japan.

Crafted from the first leaves of spring, this premier mid-steamed (chumushi) sencha is delightfully smooth, dewy and juicy, with abundant umami and a pleasant bittersweetness that refreshes the senses.

The finest grade of sencha in our core collection, it is grown, selected and custom-blended for us by Nishi-san—one of Japan’s most celebrated organic tea producers—whose pristine gardens lie on the slopes of Mt. Kirishima, shielded by forests of cedar and pine.

A trusted partner since 2006, Nishi-san is known for his skilled cultivar selection and talent for crafting expressive, beautifully balanced teas. This vibrant sencha is a shining example, made to be savored again and again.

Renowned throughout Japan as pioneers of organic green tea cultivation, the Nishi family has been our strongest partner for organic sencha and organic matcha since 2006. Every year, the Nishi family produces exclusive allocations of organic sencha and organic matcha for us. This Nishi family grows more than a dozen different green tea cultivars all with unique characteristics and nuances that make our blends really stand out. Our long standing relationship with the Nishi family allows us to select the very best micro-lots and fine tune our sencha and matcha blends each year. The Nishi Organic Tea Farm consists of many different gardens secluded in pine and cedar forests of Kirishima Mountain, an active volcano on Kyushu, Island. The densely forested area where these amazing tea farms are located provides a natural buffer zone that protects the tea gardens from industrial pollution.
