KIKYŌ - Certified Organic Single Cultivar Sencha from Shizuoka

KIKYŌ captures the quiet beauty of Japanese tea at its purest, a refreshing, refreshing green brew that balances clarity, sweetness, and a gentle umami depth. Crafted from the 1st flush of spring, it embodies the vitality of new season leaves and the care of generations of organic cultivation.

What Makes KIKYŌ Special

  • Pioneering Organic Farm - Sourced from a family farm nestled in the lush hills of Fujieda, Shizuoka, where organic farming has been practiced since the 1970s. Certified organic by the Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS), the tea is cultivated entirely through natural, chemical-free methods that nurture both the land and the leaf.
  • The Rare 1st Flush Harvest - Made exclusively from Yabukita leaves picked during the first harvest of spring, when the young shoots are at their most vibrant. These leaves yield a naturally sweet, nutrient-rich tea with bright, full-bodied flavour.
  • Medium-Steamed for Purity - Crafted as a Chumushi-cha (medium-steamed Sencha), KIKYŌ reveals a clear, golden-green cup with a soft floral aroma, clean sweetness, and an elegant finish without bitterness.

The Craftsmanship Behind KIKYŌ

Each batch is gently steamed, rolled, and dried on-site to preserve the tea’s fresh, grassy aroma and lively character. The result is an exquisite example of everyday Japanese green tea - pure, refreshing, and delicately balanced.

Wellness in Every Cup

Beyond its refined taste, Sencha is naturally rich in antioxidants, catechins, and L-theanine, which support immunity, focus, and calm energy. Its gentle caffeine content provides a sustained, balanced lift without overstimulation, making KIKYŌ a mindful daily ritual that nourishes both body and mind.

FLAVOUR PROFILE

AROMA

Fresh-cut grass and steamed greens, with delicate floral note sand Subtle hints of umami

TASTE

Clean, refreshing, with soft natural sweetness. The astringency is faint and well-integrated, creating a crisp yet smooth mouthfeel

HOW TO ENJOY IT?

This medium-steamed green tea brews into a light, golden-green cup with a refreshing and gentle astringency. We recommend brewing it with care to experience its full, subtle flavour.

  1. Heat Water: Heat up filtered water, cool it down using a water cooler to 70-80°C (Using water that is too hot will make the tea bitter) 
  2. Measure Tea: Add 5g (approx. 1-2 teaspoon) of tea leaves per 250ml of water to your teapot
  3. Steep: Steep for around 1 minute for the 1st infusion. For subsequent infusions, extend the time to 1-2 minutes
  4. Pour: Pour the tea into your cup (or back to the water cooler), make sure to get every last drop to prevent the leaves from over-steeping.
  5. Enjoy: This tea pairs beautifully with desserts or on its own

STORAGE TIPS

To keep your tea leaves fresh, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture and odours. Ensure the bag is tightly sealed, and gently press out as much air as possible before closing it
