This yabukita sencha was grown amongst the mountains of Honyama, giving it a crisp, invigorating taste reminiscent of a cool mountain breeze. Hailing from the Uchimachi sector of Honyama, Matsuba is the perfect gateway to this classic style of sencha.

Phenomenal!
I received the Matsuba Sencha as a sample with my order and was so pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The tea tasted incredibly fresh, with a lovely balance of sweetness, umami, and that clean vegetal character I love in Japanese sencha. It was especially enjoyable brewed in my new Tokoname kyusu. I’ll definitely be considering a full-size bag with my next order.

Definitely recommended!
One of my favorite senchas. I would drink it everyday if I could but that would hurt the wallet ahaha!

A very yummy sampler
I appreciate that Tezumi occasionally offers little sampler packs when you place orders. I never know if I'll like a tea until I try it, so this really helps me identify accurate descriptors to associate with the tastes and sensations I like when I drink certain teas. This tea in particular is very calming.
