About This Tea
What does Chiran Sencha taste like?
This vibrant Japanese Sencha presents a bright, electric green infusion with an invigorating, grassy aroma. The palate is greeted with pronounced notes of fresh alpine grass and dandelion, beautifully. It leans grassy, sweet and vegetal.
How should I brew Chiran Sencha?
Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.
Where does Chiran Sencha come from?
Grown in Kagoshima, Japan from the Samidori cultivar. This batch is from the 2025 harvest.
How much does Chiran Sencha cost?
Starts at $32.00 from Kettl, or about $0.32/g. A 100g package gets you around 17 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.92 per session. Explore more green teas on Teadar.
