Ryōgōchi Sencha Zairai | Organic | 2026

両河内 煎茶 在来

Unshaded mountain sencha made from +100 years old zairai tea trees carefully cultivated using organic farming methods by Mr and Mrs Iwasaki in the pristine and largely untouched natural environment of Ryōgōchi, Shizuoka.

Despite the rustic appearance of the leaves, the Iwasaki family’s zairai sencha infuses into a mild and harmonious green tea with a comfortingly “baked” and naturally sweet profile.

Here, too, are refreshing hints of wild grasses and herbs, accompanied by a soothing sense of warmth that gently spreads through the body shortly after the first sip — reminding us of the high age and deep roots of these old tea trees.
