Asamiya Sencha (Tea Bags)

Made with first-flush tea leaves grown in the mountain fields in Asamiya, this sencha offers a fresh aroma and clean, balanced flavor. Packed in convenient tea bags, it can be easily brewed with hot water. Each bag can be infused up to three times, allowing you to enjoy several cups from a single tea bag.

Chanomiyagura is based in the Asamiya district of Shigaraki in Shiga Prefecture, home to Asamiya-cha, one of Japan’s five great historic teas and a tea-growing region with over 1,200 years of history. Set on cool mountain slopes around 400 meters in elevation, Asamiya is known for its frequent mist and wide temperature shifts, conditions that help produce teas with a clear aroma and deep, lasting flavor.

Shigaraki is long known for its Shigaraki-yaki pottery, and tea and ceramics have developed side by side here as part of everyday tea culture. Chanomiyagura grows and produces tea from their own fields, carrying on the long tradition of Asamiya tea in a quiet mountain region where tea has been cultivated for centuries.
