Two of our most cherished sencha — Saemidori 2025 from Kagoshima and Hoshino Shizuku 2025 from Yame — paired together so you can quietly compare them side by side while the leaves are still at their best.
Saemidori brings smooth umami with a vivid, grassy aroma. Hoshino Shizuku brings a deeper umami with a subtle roasted note — quietly composed and refined. Together they make a small home tasting that shows two distinct expressions of Japanese sencha.

How to Brew
For sencha at its best, brew with water around 70–75°C. Allow the leaves a gentle first steeping of about 60 seconds. The same leaves can be steeped two or three times — each cup tells a slightly different story.

Q. Is this tea organic?
A. This tea is not certified organic. It is produced in Japan under Japanese agricultural standards. If you are looking specifically for certified organic tea, we recommend our Organic Sencha or Organic Matcha.
Q. Will I have to pay customs and import taxes?
A. For U.S. orders, import duties and related charges are currently handled by ShiZen Tea when applicable, so you should not normally be asked to pay customs charges on delivery. For other countries, customs duties, import taxes, or local fees may vary depending on your country's regulations and may be charged to the buyer. Please check with your local customs authority if you are unsure.
Q. Can I track my order?
A. Yes, tracking is available for all orders. Once your order has been shipped, you will receive a confirmation email containing your tracking number and a link to track your package.
Q. How much caffeine does this tea contain?
A. Yes. Like other Japanese green teas, this tea contains caffeine. The exact amount can vary depending on the tea amount, water temperature, and steeping time. If you are sensitive to caffeine, we recommend enjoying it earlier in the day.

A. Please store the tea in a cool, dark place, away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight. After opening, seal the package tightly and enjoy it as soon as possible, while the aroma is still fresh.
