Sencha, Japanese classic green tea, is a simple yet delicate tea. If infused with boiling hot water, the tea leaves will burn and turn the tea slightly bitter.
To avoid this, simply pour the hot water into a cup, then infuse with the tea so that the temperature of the water cools a bit to ensure that the tea will not be damaged.
Enjoy a nice cup of sencha!
To cold brew momo sencha, pour 1 cup (250cc) cold water to 2 gram momo sencha and wait 20 minutes.
The smooth, refreshing taste of the sencha compliments the sweet undertone of peaches along with a tiny hint of mint.
Take some time to sit down with a cup of Jugetsudo momo senchato celebrate summer!

Cold brew tea is easy to make and tastes amazing! Hot water tends to bring out the tannic, bitter flavor in tea, but with cold water, the tea will be mellow; smooth and with lots of delicate umami!
To make cold brew tea, put one teaspoon of loose leaf tea (or one teabag) in one cup of cold water. Steep for half an hour.
Try it with Jugetsudo flavored sencha–yuzu, sakura (cherry blossom) and momo (peach). The flavors will freshly stand out. You will be pleasantly surprised!

Genmaicha is green tea with roasted brown rice. It has a unique, nutty flavor–almost like popcorn.
It is very comforting and getting popular among tea lovers these days.
But why rice in tea?! Who put rice in tea first?
There are several stories, one of which is that a tea merchant in Kyoto put pieces of old, hardened mochi (rice cake) in green tea. In Japan, people decorate mochi as an offering to Shinto God to celebrate a new year. After about two weeks, when the celebration is over, the mochi gets hardened and people break it to pieces with a wooden hammer. Eating these pieces is believed to give you good luck.
One tea merchant, who wanted to make use of the tiny pieces of this mochi, roasted them and put them in green tea.
Another story was that in olden days, tea was rather luxurious and not very affordable for common people. In the northern part of Japan, rice farmers added beans or roasted rice to tea to increase its volume.
In any case, putting roasted rice in tea was a great idea!
Jugetsudo added a little bit of matcha for extra flavor and a nice green color!

We are often asked why Jugetsudo’s sencha has the word “asa” on its packaging. “Asa” means morning in Japanese, and it is believed in Japan that a cup of green tea in the morning brings you good fortune. There is even a saying that goes, “Go back home to have morning tea despite the seventeen miles”—meaning that you should go home and have tea, no matter how far from your home if you realize that you have skipped your morning tea.
Does a cup of green tea in the morning have some mysterious power, or is it just superstition?
There seems to be some reasons.
First, green tea is good for your health. Green tea contains theanine that works as an anti-oxidant. In Japan, it is a well-known fact that there are the least cancer patients in tea-producing areas like Kakegawa and Fujieda in Shizuoka prefecture. People living in these regions drink green tea daily. In the olden days, people in Japan did not know the science behind this, but they somehow must have known that green tea is good for your health.
Second, the hot tea wakes up your body and helps prepare yourself for the day. It is not only the tea, but it is also the process of boiling water, putting the tea leaves in the pot, pouring the hot water in the pot and so on. The caffeine in the tea also helps reduce fatigue.
Have some Jugetsudo sencha tea in the morning before you leave your home!
