Chiran Farmer’s Sencha | Organic | 2026

知覧 農家さんの煎茶

Chiran Farmer’s Sencha is a comforting and wholesome spring-harvested green tea made in a rustic farmer-style where both leaves and stems are preserved.
A well-balanced umami structure reflects the celebrated qualities of the entire Yabukita leaf, while also bearing witness to the shading period of seven days prior to the spring harvest in April.
Finished as a medium-steamed and unsorted ‘raw tea’ (aracha), a moderate hi-ire firing in the end emphasizes the wonderful aromas of the leaf material, while imparting a characteristic nut-like sweetness in the finish and a gently warming body sensation.
As such, Chiran Farmer’s Sencha offers an exceptionally well-made and harmonious daily sencha – and one of the most beloved teas within our catalogue.
