Shizuoka Tsuyu Sencha – Premium First-Harvest Deep-Steamed SenchaShizuoka Tsuyu Sencha is a premium-quality, first-harvest sencha from Shizuoka, Japan — the country's largest and most famous tea-growing region. It's one of the finest naturally grown senchas we've ever had the pleasure of offering at Tealyra! This fragrant deep-steamed sencha is both mellow and rich, with complex flavor. Deep steaming (fukamushi) softens the leaves and brings out a fuller, rounder taste with less astringency than lightly steamed senchas. The brilliant, dark green, needle-like leaves deliver a fragrant aroma and a translucent cup. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItShizuoka Tsuyu Sencha strikes a beautiful balance between lightness and depth. It's smooth enough for everyday sipping yet complex enough to impress green tea connoisseurs. It's a crisp, satisfying cup for any time of day.
How to EnjoyEnjoy it plain in a kyusu or small teapot and re-steep the leaves for additional cups. It pairs perfectly with sushi, grilled fish, rice dishes and light Japanese sweets, and makes a refreshing iced green tea. Fragrant, rich and beautifully balanced, Shizuoka Tsuyu Sencha is a Japanese green tea you'll return to again and again — a lovely everyday luxury and a thoughtful gift for anyone who appreciates fine Japanese tea. |

A little steeping tipRe-steep 2–3 times: the second steep needs only 20–30 seconds. Boiling water makes sencha bitter.
Why cold brewCold water draws out less bitterness, so the tea tastes smooth and naturally sweet.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
Think of these as a starting point. Every tea is a little experiment, so adjust the amount, temperature and time to your taste.
