Kumamoto Kikuchi Sencha Premium, organic

A sencha like clear spring water - from Kumamoto's pristine mountain world

If you don't just want to drink tea, but experience it: Kumamoto Kikuchi Sencha Premium (organic) is a prime example of regionality with depth. It comes from the high-altitude, mist-covered gardens of northern Kyushu - more precisely from the Kikuchi Valley in Kumamoto Prefecture. An area where time flows more slowly. And so does the water.

Here, at an altitude of 300 to 500 meters - surrounded by deciduous forests, volcanic soil and fresh mountain air - this premium Sencha thrives under conditions that make tea connoisseurs sit up and take notice: pure spring water, strong temperature differences and regular foggy days create a terroir that you can taste. The result is a tea full of clarity, depth and quiet energy.

Kikuchi Suigen - the taste of the spring

The Kikuchi River is more than just a watercourse. For the local people, it is the source of life - and for this tea, the heart of its character. "Kikuchi Suigen" means "Origin of the Kikuchi Spring" - a name that can also be found on the label of this hand-picked sencha.

Its fragrance before infusion is reminiscent of damp forest soil and fine ink - a tribute to the deep roots of tea in Japanese culture. It also promises a lot visually: needle-shaped, lush green leaves with almost steely contours. Once brewed, a light, rice seedling green drink with a soft shimmer and a taste that will surprise you unfolds: full-bodied umami meets lovely sweetness - finely balanced like a chamber concert in your mouth.

Ideal for your tea rituals - whether in the morning or during mindful breaks

This Sencha is not a loud presence. It is a quiet presence - perfect for anyone who wants to experience tea as a daily pause. Certified organic and cultivated according to strict ecological standards, Kumamoto Kikuchi Sencha Premium is aimed at connoisseurs with a sense of quality, origin and harmony.
