Sencha Enshu

Masterful tradition: Enshu Sencha from the tea gardens of the last shogun

With the turning point of the Meiji period in 1868, an era of great upheaval began in Japan. Political power, previously in the hands of the shogunate, solemnly returned to the Emperor (Tenno) and with this change, the social structure of the nation also changed. A notable part of this transformation was the loss of the traditional role of the samurai. At the behest of the last shogun, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the warriors exchanged their swords for plows. Japan opened its doors further to the global economy and focused on tea and silk as its main exports. Near the newly opened port of Shimizu in the Shizuoka region, tea gardens flourished under the hard work and dedication of the former samurai.

Against this historical backdrop rises Enshu, a major tea-growing region. Its extensive gardens stretch to the horizon and give us the exquisite Enshu Sencha. The tea is characterized by its gentle yet complex character. A delicate green cup reveals an unexpected depth with every sip, surprising even the most experienced tea connoisseurs.
