Japan is famous for its unique styles of green tea. Our collection of loose leaf Japanese green tea includes selections from the top tea estates in the Kagoshima, Kamakura, Miyazaki and Uji regions, and are known for their clean, refreshing, and vegetal flavor profiles. Rich in antioxidants, the benefits of drinking Japanese green tea can include supporting heart and brain health, and reducing inflammation.*

Japanese loose leaf green tea is best infused with water that is below the boiling point, and a brief infusion of no longer than three minutes should be observed to limit the astringency. The Japanese tea ceremony, a tradition originally created by Zen Buddhist monks centuries ago, is a ceremonial preparation that embodies connection, tranquility, and mindfulness. 

Of the highest quality, our green tea from Japan collection includes a variety of Matcha, Sencha, Gyokuro and Gen-mai Cha teas, available in both conventional and organic options:

  • Premium Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder features a rich umami flavor with light toasty notes, creating a complex dark jade cup.
  • Japanese Sencha Green Tea offers a delicate yet brisk cup with a clean vegetal flavor and a refreshing hint of sweetness.
  • Organic Gyokuro is grown in Kagoshima prefecture, and is a smooth, rich cup with a sweet finish—available while supplies last.
  • Gen-mai Cha combines large-leaf Sencha with toasted and puffed brown rice for a uniquely flavorful blend.
