Description

First harvest tea (shincha 2023)
This high-grade organic sencha is grown at the top of Yame mountains. Its leaves are covered with snow and so develops more nutrients that create a powerful and delicious taste.

The first brew yields a deep-green tea with a highly pleasing aroma with notes of artichoke and a hint of chestnut. Enjoy its round and rich mouthfeel, with a delicious umami that will linger for a long while.

Good organic tea

I have the opportunity to try this team during my visit in Aug 2023, it was a great organic tea. Later i bought quite a lot of different tea on line from IKKYU. IKKYU shipped the order to me in Hong Kong without any delay. I received them within 3 days from the time I placed the order. Great tea, Great services, Highly recommended to those enjoy good quality organic tea which is difficult to find!

Chiyo sencha

This tea is fantastic. Very fresh with a fantastic vegetal taste. I’m glad to have stumbled upon Ilkyu and will use them as my tea source for years to come. Looking forward to trying their different varieties of sencha. Thanks!

Smooth

This tea with grassy herbal taste lingers in the mouth with a green tea lipstick ‘thickness’
