Honyama Sencha N-15 | Organic | 2026

本山 煎茶 N-15

Unshaded sencha made from the rare N-15 cultivar, selected from heirloom zairai seeds by tea farmer Katsumi Saitō himself deep in the traditional Honyama region of Shizuoka.
Lightly steamed (asamushi) and – as always with Saitō-san’s teas – further processed with the utmost of care, these fine spring leaves offer a uniquely aromatic profile with complex notes of citrus fruit and fresh herbs.
Finely balanced sensations of umami are also present, gradually emerging across subsequent infusions and lingering as a deep aftertaste in a very natural style.

bergamot – thyme – sanshō pepper
