This is how the tea tastes

AROMA & CHARACTER

Moonlit Sencha opens bright and fresh: citrus zest, young green leaves, a subtle nori note. On the palate, it is silky and clean, with gentle sweetness and a subtle umami that supports rather than dominates. At 70–75 °C, the cup remains light and precise; at 80 °C, it becomes rounder, denser, and noticeably softer in umami. The finish is cool, clean, and lingering, without any harsh bitterness.

THE TEA FARM

Solar vapor from Shizuoka

Moonlit Sencha comes from Shizuoka, a core region for Japanese Sencha. The leaves are harvested in spring and briefly steamed (rather than roasted) to immediately stop oxidation and preserve the clear green tea freshness. They are then rolled several times until the characteristic needle-like structure is formed and gently dried – this precisely preserves the color, sweetness, and subtle umami notes.

TEA FARM

Selected from gardens with a focus on rapid processing after harvest – for freshness, not for quantity.

TERROIR

Mild coastal climates, frequent humidity and stable temperatures support a soft, clear Sencha profile.

ORIGIN

Shizuoka-Sencha stands for steamed green tea with high everyday usability: precise, fresh, clean – a style that prioritizes balance.

The tea

Moonlit Sencha

Moonlit Sencha is a sencha for clear days. It's not loud, but rather well-ordered: fresh green notes at the front, a soft sweetness underneath, and umami as a calm base. The leaf opens evenly and delivers a consistent profile cup after cup, without drying out or becoming harsh. If you brew it briefly, it remains airy and bright. If you give it more time, it becomes rounder and deeper without losing its freshness. A tea that supports focus yet has a relaxing effect.
