Competition Sencha, 2025, Yabukita, Kagoshima, Japan

Sencha Supreme – Competition Grade Tea from Kagoshima

This Competition Sencha is an exceptional green tea, made from the very first spring harvests in Kagoshima, using the Yabukita cultivar. Carefully crafted for Japanese tea competitions, it is produced in extremely limited quantities — often less than 15–20 kg — with meticulous attention to detail from hand-picking to final processing.

It stands out with its rich and refined aroma, featuring floral and delicate notes and a silky texture. On the palate, it unfolds slowly with remarkable harmony. The appearance, finesse, and fragrance of the leaves reflect the excellence of Japanese craftsmanship. Rarely found outside Japan, this Sencha is a true rarity to be discovered.

What is Sencha?

Grown under full sun, its leaves are rolled into fine needle shapes, a signature of traditional processing. Our Sencha teas are carefully selected for their high quality and their unique flavor balance, making each one a distinctive experience.
