Sencha Enshu

Sencha Enshu - Tea from the gardens of change

Are you looking for a tea that not only tastes good, but also tells a story? Then Sencha Enshu is a discovery for you. This green and gold treasure comes from the traditional Enshu region in Shizuoka - a place where Japan's past is reflected in the taste.

With the beginning of the Meiji period (from 1868), Japan changed fundamentally: the last shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu laid down his power, the sword became the plow and many former samurai began to cultivate tea. From their hands - and presumably with a great deal of care and dedication - the first tea gardens in Enshu were created, the rows of which stretch to the horizon today.

This is exactly where this Sencha grows - a tea that quietly tells stories: of upheaval and new beginnings, of earth, rain and human energy. The leaves smell fresh and green, and in the cup the Enshu is a delicate green with a soft, almost silky texture. The first sip is mild, almost restrained - but then a pleasant, surprisingly long depth unfolds in the finish. Not intrusive, but penetrating.

A tea for moments of tranquillity. For a mindful start to the day. Or as a green companion for free thoughts between two book covers.
