How to brew
A Kagoshima Organic Sencha Made for Everyday Drinking
Midori is made from a blend of organic sencha leaves grown in Kagoshima and harvested in summer 2026. It is a blend rather than a single-cultivar tea, with smooth umami, gentle sweetness, medium body, and a clean, refreshing finish.
Choose Midori when you want a balanced organic Japanese green tea that is easy to return to throughout the week.
Balanced Through Steaming and Gentle Firing
The leaves are steamed between medium and deep, then finished with a low-temperature firing. This gives Midori a rounded green-tea character and medium body while keeping the finish clean.
This tea is certified organic under Japan's JAS Organic standard.
