Every sip of this tea is a memorable taste that takes you on a trip to Japan, enjoying a “hanami” or a picnic under the beautiful Sakura trees.

Sourced from Japan

Sencha is a home-brew loved by many in Japan. This healthy green tea leads the market of tea drinkers in the region with 80 percent against other variants like mecha. The leaves used in creating sencha are collected during spring season starting from the south of Japan heading all the way up to the north. This method of tea-picking is strictly adhered to ensure that the tender leaves are collected in spring when they are mostly stocked with nutrients. Hence, it is believed that when you take satisfying gulps of sencha you have introduced yourself to a year of good health.

Gryphon tea, a multiple-time winner of The Great Taste Awards, builds on this great tea to carve out the Hanami Sencha tea which is sourced from the natural plants of both the Japanese sencha tea and cherry blossoms. The result is a drink that provides gourmets with a distinguished, flavorful spring tea that leaves you satisfied and energized.
