Saya #05 – Deep-steamed Sencha

A serene, moonlit sencha of gentle sweetness and deep calm

Saya is a deep-steamed sencha made from the Saemidori cultivar, a refined cross between Yabukita and Asatsuyu, prized for its vivid green colour and naturally sweet, umami-rich profile.

Harvested early in the season, the leaves produce a clear, luminous infusion with a smooth, mellow texture.
Bitterness and astringency are minimal, allowing the tea’s gentle sweetness and depth to unfold quietly.

Soft yet full-bodied, Saya offers a sense of ease and reassurance —
a tea that invites you to slow down and breathe deeply.
