Sencha Dewdrop Japanese Loose Leaf Green Tea

Lightly sweet and easy to drink, this sencha has vibrant and refreshing flavour with no bitterness, and an aroma reminiscent of cherry blossom.

This sencha is produced from the comparatively rare Tsuyuhikari cultivar. Tsuyuhikari means “dew light”. The first half of the name Tsuyu comes from its parent plant, Asatsuyu, which means "morning dew”. The second half Hikari means "light", which reflects the hope that it would bring a new brightness to Japanese tea.

Grown and processed in Ureshino on Japan’s southern Kyushu island, this tea is a standout example of what makes Japanese green teas so sought-after.

100% Camellia Sinensis

50g packaged in a food-safe, recyclable tin.
