Commitment to
Quality Tea
The tea masters at Sakihara Seicha, who handle all aspects of tea production from growing tea leaves to blending, will introduce their commitment to making tea delicious.
Tea Plantation
The "river tea" grown in the lower reaches of the Sendai River and the "mountain tea" grown on the hills surrounded by mountains; the tea grown in these two tea plantations has different flavors and tastes. We grow nine varieties of tea leaves by taking advantage of the characteristics of these tea plantations.
Tea Production
Sakihara Seicha is involved in the production of numerous types of tea, including sencha, aged tea, gyokuro, oolong tea, black tea, and pu-erh tea. The following is an introduction to the types of teas we make, the manufacturing process, and our commitment to our teas.
Tea Master
The artisan skill of 'Gogumi' (blending) enhances the quality of the tea leaves, resulting in delicious tea. This process requires the exceptional expertise of a Tea Master. We are proud of the highly skilled tea master at Sakihara Seicha.
Sakihara Seicha's Tea
In addition to sencha and other green teas, we introduce Sakihara Seicha's unique tea products such as oolong tea, black tea, and pu-erh tea made with shochu malt.
Sencha
We have "Sendai Homare" series, our representative brand of Sencha and matured Sencha teas. Even within the same Sencha, there are differences in aroma and sweetness depending on the production method and blend. Please compare and enjoy differences.
Gyokuro
Gyokuro is also a variety of green tea. It is made using tea leaves harvested from tea gardens where sunlight is deliberately limited. This process reduces the production of catechins, resulting in a tea with less astringency and a stronger umami flavor.
Hojicha
Our sencha is roasted over high heat to give it a unique flavor. It is characterized by its savory aroma and clean aftertaste, making it a perfect match for oily meals. It is also recommended to drink before bedtime due to its low caffeine content.
Genmaicha
We blend our tea with carefully selected mochi rice. The combination of the toasted mochi rice and tea creates a refreshingly light flavor, which has become a popular choice among our customers. Enjoy the unique blend that is a hallmark of Sakihara Tea's dedication to quality.
Oolong Tea
It is a semi-fermented tea between green tea and red tea, made by selecting large leaves that have just emerged from the ground rather than sprouts, drying them in the sun, and then fermenting them. It is called Oolong Tea because the leaves are black like a raven and some are curved like a dragon.
Black Tea
We produce black tea that is rich in aroma and naturally sweet, filling the mouth with its delightful taste. We cherish the process of making black tea, emphasizing the natural flavors and aromas that come from our own tea plantation.This dedication to homegrown tea ensures a truly authentic experience.
Pu-erh Tea
It is made by fermenting carefully selected tea leaves with yellow, black, and white koji malt for Shochu, using a unique method over a long period of time. It is a unique Kagoshima Pu-erh Tea.
