The Nishi family is celebrated throughout Japan for their exquisite quality green teas, dedication to organic cultivation techniques and their masterful cultivar selection. The Nishi family has been one of our strongest partners for organic sencha since 2006. Our Nishi First Flush is the premier style of mid-steamed sencha from the Nishi gardens blended from several different cultivars to create a bright, aromatic and lively character. The "first flush" refers to the first harvest of the spring season when new tea buds emerge and tea plants awaken from their winter dormancy. At this time, the bushes sprout up with great vigor and yield the richest, most balanced teas. Our Nishi First Flush Sencha presents a deep umami flavor and smooth, juicy mouthfeel.
