About This Tea
What does Sumire Sencha taste like?
This deep-steamed Sencha from Kagoshima offers a vibrant cup with a brilliant green hue. Expect invigorating notes of electric grass and crisp green apple, harmonized by the delicate sweetness of moun. It leans grassy, fruity and floral.
How should I brew Sumire 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 Sumire Sencha come from?
Grown in Kagoshima, Japan from the Blend cultivar. This batch is from the 2025 harvest.
How much does Sumire Sencha cost?
Starts at $25.00 from Kettl, or about $0.20/g. A 100g package gets you around 17 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.20 per session. Explore more green teas on Teadar.
