Honyama Sencha N-15 | Organic | 2026

本山 煎茶 N-15

Unshaded organic sencha made from the rare N-15 cultivar, selected from heirloom zairai seeds by tea farmer Katsumi Saitō himself deep in the traditional Honyama terroir of Shizuoka.
Lightly steamed (asamushi) and – as always with the Saitō family’s teas – further processed with the utmost of care, these early spring leaves offer rich notes of citrus fruit and fresh herbs. A finely balanced sensation of umami gradually emerges as well, lingering as an elegant aftertaste in a very pure, natural style.
Honyama Sencha N-15 stands as such as a truly exceptional tea, beautifully expressing the uncompromising craftsmanship of Saitō-san – rooted in deep respect for nature and the classical sencha culture of Shizuoka.
