We, at Hibiki-an, will start to sell Blended Sencha today.
We have arranged to add three limited edition Blended Sencha teas. Each individual tea is more sweet and mellow than basic Sencha, characteristic of Gyokuro. But, it has a more refreshing aroma than Gyokuro, characteristic of Sencha. One of them is sold only at exclusive tea fairs in Japan, and has been developed in order to characterize each advantage of Sencha and Gyokuro. The other two items are composed of fine and unique breeds of tea with special characteristics.
All three teas are only available this winter season.
