Your precious tea really needs to be kept airtight and away from light once you open it - we'd strongly recommend one of our tins to keep it safe.

A top grade "Sofu" (Blue Wind) sencha from the Moriuchi farm in Shizuoka prefecture, Japan.

This loose leaf tea is crafted from a new Japanese varietal first planted 8-10 years ago and now reaching perfect maturity.  It has the scent of a new wind moving through the forest - the fresh, clean wind of Spring.

It starts with a wonderfully silky, grassy flavour and then reveals surprising citrus notes of grapefruit and lemon. Later the flavour becomes more vegetal with a smooth buttery mouthfeel leading to muscat grapes, lychee and the floral aromas of honeysuckle.

£1.60 per cup based on 2g of tea per 150ml of water and 2 infusions.

Moriuchi Tea Garden

Located between Uchimaki and Miwa Village in Shizuoka, the Moriuchi Tea Garden has been around since the Edo period. The tea is grown and harvested by husband and wife Yoshio and Masumi Moriuchi.

The gardens are steep and rich, surrounded by forests. Indeed so precipitous is the incline Mr Moriuchi has built a small monorail to lift them up, and the tea down, from the steepest slopes. They have converted the land to organic farming and our senchas are hand picked and handcrafted.

Exceptional

A truly exceptional green tea with a crisp clear taste of sweet pure green. First there’s a sense of a classic sencha, but so much sweeter, with fruity hints of black current. If you like Sencha, you’re going to love the Sofu Sencha. My afternoon indulgence on rainy days.
