Sencha
The signature Japanese tea which has a harmonious balance of umami, sweetness, bitterness, and astringency.
Gyokuro (Shaded green tea)
Gyokuro is a green tea that has an abundance of hearty-sweet umami flavour with a deep aroma.
Hojicha (Roasted Tea)
Hojicha has a rich, toasted aroma, without any bitterness. The roasting process removes a lot of the caffeine, making hojicha an ideal tea for those wanting to reduce their caffeine intake.
