TSUTA -  Certified Organic Single Cultivar Aged Sencha from Shizuoka

TSUTA is a rare and contemplative green tea, a study in patience and transformation. Crafted from 1st-flush Yabukita leaves and aged for at least one year, it follows the centuries-old Kuradashi tradition once practised during the Tokugawa shogunate. Through time, the tea’s youthful vitality softens into a mellow depth, revealing layers of quiet complexity and gentle sweetness.

What Makes TSUTA Special

  • The Art of Aging: Inspired by Japan’s historic Kuradashi method, TSUTA is carefully stored and aged for over a year, allowing its vibrant spring character to mature into a rounder, smoother and more harmonious flavour
  • 1st Flush Purity: Made exclusively from 1st-harvest leaves, the youngest and most nutrient-dense growth of spring, these leaves form the ideal foundation for aging, balancing natural sweetness with refined freshness
  • Pioneering Organic Craftsmanship: Grown by a family-run organic farm in Fujieda, Shizuoka, that has been a pioneer in sustainable tea cultivation since the 1970s. Certified organic under the Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS), every batch is grown with respect for nature’s rhythm and purity

A Tea Shaped by Time

With age, TSUTA’s bright green youth evolves into something deeper and more introspective. The result is a smooth, umami-rich cup with notes of sweet hay, soft umami & a deep vegetal note

An Expression of Balance and Calm

Like time itself, TSUTA invites stillness. Its low astringency and round, comforting profile make it a beautiful companion for reflective moments

FLAVOUR PROFILE

AROMA

Bold and profound, a deep vegetal note reminiscent of a wet forest

TASTE

Aging turns the sharp grassy taste into a warm and round, almost woody flavour. It also brings out the subtle sweetness and honey-like undertones for a complex and layered finish

HOW TO ENJOY IT?

SUTA's bolder profile makes it an excellent choice for green tea lovers who enjoy a deeper, more profound taste. It is best enjoyed by brewing with slightly hotter water to fully release its complex flavours

  1. Heat Water: Heat up filtered water, cool it down using a water cooler to  around 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 soothing
  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: It is good to drink on its own or its interesting profile matches amazingly with dark chocolate, creating a delightful and unique tasting experience

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
