Our products

SENCHA

Sencha is a type of tea produced using tea leaves grown in full sun, without undergoing any process of fermentation, something very rare in the world of teas. Sencha is also called “green tea” due to its beautiful green color. The tea is characterized by its fresh bitterness and refreshing aroma, and is classified into many grades based on the season when it was picked and the amount of sunlight received. This calorie-free, healthy drink is rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and catechin.
MATCHA

Matcha, or powdered sencha, originally referred to a type of tea made using highest-grade tea leaves grown without being exposed to direct sunlight, which were then steamed, dried, and powdered. Matcha is used in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony of sado, and it is characterized by its sweetness and savor emerging against a mild bitterness. As the powdered tea leaves are drinkable, you can take in nutrients that you normally do not ingest with green tea.
ORGANIC MATCHA

This type of matcha is recommended for those who are keen to have teas utilizing pesticide-free and chemical-free production. As drinking matcha—in contrast to sencha and houjicha—means ingesting powdered tea leaves, we assure you a higher level of safety and reliability with Organic JAS certification. The vivid green color and mild taste of matcha is also popular as a flavor for Japanese snacks and ice creams.
HOUJICHA

Houjicha is a type of tea that uses green tea leaves that are roasted at high heat until they turn brown. The roasting process reduces the bitterness of the tea, allowing you to enjoy a mild and fragrant taste. As houjicha adjusts blood cholesterol and blood sugar levels, it is expected to relieve lifestyle-related diseases. You may drink the tea immediately before you go to sleep because it has a low caffeine content.
GENMAICHA

This is a type of tea produced by mixing roasted rice with green tea. With its fragrant smell and refreshing taste, genmaicha is more yellowish than green tea, and it is very good with meals. Genmaicha is considered to have many health benefits as it is a good source of B vitamins and vitamin E, as well as dietary fiber.

We offer a wide variety of other Japanese Teas, so please feel free to inquire about them.

Traditional method of preparing sencha

1.Pour hot water into the teacups to be used (in order to let the hot water cool to optimum temperature, and to measure the amount of water required).
2.Place the tea leaves into the teapot (6 to 10 g for 3 to 5 people).
3.Transfer hot water from the teacups into the teapot, and wait 1 to 2 minutes while the tea brews (optimum temperature: 70 to 90°C).
4.Pour the tea little by little into each teacup in turn (do not fill the teacup in one pour) to ensure the tea’s taste is even.

Japanese teas come in many types according to their cultivation methods, picking seasons, and manufacturing processes. As these teas have different benefits, Japanese people have enjoyed drinking them in accordance with different aspects of daily life. Sencha is recommended in the morning as it contains more caffeine and wakes you up, while refreshing genmaicha goes well with meals. Sencha is also great after meals because it prevents bad breath and dental cavities. It is good to have houjicha to relax before going to bed as you can drink it without worrying about caffeine. For afternoon tea, we drink rich matcha, which has a good chemistry with sweet treats. Japanese tea is a drink with great depth and has a wide variety of tastes and aromas that change depending not only on the diverse types of tea leaves used, but also according to where they are produced and how they are brewed. Thank you for taking an interest in gaining a greater knowledge of the health benefits as well as the history of Japanese tea, something that is deeply rooted in Japanese lifestyles and cultures.

We are pressed for time every day in the today’s IT-driven society.
During such busy days, a cup of Japanese tea offers you a little bit of luxurious relaxation. During this moment, time passes by slowly, and silence heals your tired mind.

I was introduced to the world of Japanese tea at a tea ceremony held as far back as 40 years ago.
I still have the feeling of my mind fulfilled by silence when I had a cup of tea in a humble tearoom bathed in natural sunlight.

I want every customer to feel the peaceful sense of relaxation that I experienced at that time.
To this end, Tsukasa Seicha is committed to supplying delicious Japanese teas to all our customers.
