As tea fans, we love to bring out the good stuff this season.

Among all your options, the classic green tea sencha should not be overlooked. Its complexity and layered umami in the aftertaste feel cozy, comforting, and enriching in the winter, while its bright, herbaceous, eye-opening character is a celebration.

With sencha, we’ll most often brew a pot to share with cookies on a cold winter afternoon. Then, on a quiet morning before the busyness of the day begins, we’ll brew a calm, deep cup to enjoy for our own pleasure.

With its characteristic elegant fragrance and delicate aftertaste, Kumpu is a high-class sencha in our rich category. Choose this tea if you enjoy umami, sweetness, and a sustained aftertaste, with a slightly gentler character. We also recommend this tea as cold brew, to taste the full potential of its deep umami and sweetness.

This classic green tea is characterized by its balance of flavors- natural sweetness, umami, crisp astringency, and fresh bitterness- that make for a complex experience.

Each of Ippodo’s senchas is blended in-house by our production team, led by our president, to produce a consistent rich, engaging experience each time you brew it.
