Smooth & Gentle. Sencha Green Tea

BLEND CHARACTER

Cultivated in the high-grown tea regions of Kericho and Mombasa, Smooth & Gentle is a Sencha-style green tea shaped by altitude, clarity, and careful processing. This is a study in precision, where clean air and slow growth yield a leaf of purity and quiet expression.

The infusion opens with a luminous green brightness, carrying notes of fresh-cut grass and soft florals. Beneath the surface lies a gentle umami thread, balanced by a subtle sweetness that speaks to careful steaming and preservation of the leaf’s natural integrity. The profile is composed, never overstated, with a clarity that rewards a focused palate.

This is green tea in its most poised form. It invites slow drinking, attentive brewing, and a respect for nuance over intensity.
