WITH YOU - Sencha N-15 - Pre-order
Cultivated in the high-altitude estate of Saito-en, this award-winning single-cultivar N-15 sencha showcases four decades of the Saito family's pioneering eco-conscious tea farming. Honored with top accolades at the prestigious Nihon Cha Award, this rare cultivar is lightly steamed (asamushi) to preserve the physical structure of its glossy, needle-like leaves while yielding steady caffeine. It steeps into a luminous, jade-green cup defined by a striking balance of rich, broth-like umami, vibrant spring sweetness, and a crisp, lingering finish. In Japan, N-15 from Saito-en’s high-mountain gardens is celebrated by connoisseurs as an elite competition-grade sencha, ideal for an extraordinary morning steep or shared as a gesture of refined hospitality.
