Sencha is the tea most Japanese households drink every day, and it accounts for the large majority of the country's green tea production. The leaves are grown in full sun, then steamed within hours of picking to stop oxidation before it starts — the step that separates Japanese green tea from Chinese pan-fired styles. Rolling and drying follow, shaping the leaf into the thin dark needles you see in the bag. In the cup it is fresh and grassy with a clean astringency, and the balance shifts with the water: cooler water pulls the sweetness and umami forward, hotter water brings out the briskness. One portion of leaf will give you two or three good infusions, each a little different from the last.
Tehåndværker: Henta-sanKagoshima
Mr. Henta , en dygtig landmand fra Kirishima , Japan, er producenten bag henta asanoka -teen. Under vores første møde delte han en overflod af viden om de forskellige teplantearters, også kaldet kultivarers, indviklede egenskaber.
Det, der interesserede os, var hans store forståelse af de forskellige teplantesorter, hver med sine egne karakteristiske smagsvarianter og vækstmønstre.
Selvom Mr. Henta driver sin virksomhed på et lille stykke jord, producerer han i alt 8 forskellige tesorter. Han er blevet ret god til at blande disse kultivarer for at udvinde de bedste egenskaber fra hver enkelt, hvilket skaber hver af sine karakteristiske grønne teblandinger.
Oprindelse: KirishimaJapan
Kirishima , en sydlig region i Japan, er fødestedet for Henta sencha asanoka . I modsætning til det kolde vintervejr, der er udbredt i det centrale Japan, har Kirishima et mildt subtropisk klima. Derfor er det enklere at dyrke mere delikate teplantearter, der producerer indviklede og søde grønne teer som denne.
Kultivar: AsanokaTe-variant
Som navnet antyder, er Henta Asanoka Sencha lavet af Asanoka kultivaren. Denne teplante er en af de mere sjældne japanske teplantesorter, men den kan producere lækre grønne teer.
Asanoka: Asanoka
Tilberedning og serveringOp til 60 kopper
Varm bryg: 5 g blade, 150 ml vand ved 70 °C (158 °F), 1 minut.
Bryg det igen: De samme blade giver 3 infusioner. Gentag infusionen 2 gange med vand ved samme temperatur, 20 sekunder hver gang; hver infusion smager lidt anderledes.
Kold bryg: henta sencha asanoka er ikke kun et lækkert valg til en varm kop te, men den er også en fremragende kold te. For at lære mere om, hvordan man koldbrygger grøn te, kan du besøge vores blog og læse hele artiklen.
En pakke: Op til 60 kopper · 20 × 5 g portioner, 3 infusioner hver · 100 g / 3,5 oz.

How to Make Sencha Like a Pro
For at tilberede sencha asanoka kan du bruge vand med lavere temperatur og en relativt kort trækketid. 1 minut burde være lige nok tid til, at tebladene kan åbne sig helt og frigive deres smag i vandet.
Heat the Water
Varm vandet op til 70°C (158°F).
Add the Leaves
Tilsæt 5 g blade til en kyusu-tekande .
Steep
Hæld 150 ml vand over og lad det trække i 1 minut.
Pour & Brew Again
Hæld hver dråbe ud, og bryg derefter de samme blade 2 gange mere (20 sekunder hver).
Løsbladet te over tebreve
Rig på smag, ikke på mikroplastik.
Delicate cultivars from Kirishima's mild climate.
Landmand: Hentaさん
Mr. Henta grows tea in Southern Japan's Kirishima region. Its mild, subtropical climate, warmer than the colder winters of central Japan, allows delicate tea plant varieties to yield more complex and sweet green teas.
Why Organic Sencha Fields Make a Difference
Teplanter absorberer alt fra jorden, hvilket gør pesticidfri landbrug særligt vigtigt. De landmænd, vi arbejder med, har fundet en måde at dyrke lækker te på uden at skade det naturlige økosystem.
Nio teas har været mit foretrukne sted at købe te af god kvalitet i et stykke tid nu, og de skuffer mig aldrig. Deres teer er af fremragende kvalitet, men jeg vil gerne være mere opmærksom på kundeservice - Nio-teamet har været meget venlige og hjælpsomme hver gang jeg har haft problemer. Deres kundeservice skuffer aldrig, de er meget opmærksomme og hurtige til at svare på eventuelle spørgsmål, hvilket er grunden til, at jeg har været en loyal kunde i et stykke tid nu.

Shipping is free once your order passes the threshold for your country — USD 54.99 · EUR 54.99 · GBP 44.99 · CHF 49.99 · CAD 74.99 · DKK 399 · SEK 599 · PLN 229 · CZK 1,290. Everywhere else it's the equivalent of USD 54.99, converted automatically. Below the threshold a flat rate applies, always shown at checkout before you pay.
We ship from warehouses in the US, the EU and Japan — whichever is closest to you. US and EU orders arrive in 4–12 business days; the handful of countries served from Japan take around 10. Business days count from dispatch rather than from when you order, and exclude weekends and public holidays. You'll get a tracking number by email the moment your parcel leaves the warehouse.
We only buy from fields grown without pesticides or chemicals. We ask each farmer directly how they manage their land, visit the plantation and processing facility ourselves, taste every harvest before committing, and check that the biodiversity around the fields is alive. Small family farms don't always carry paperwork — so we verify it in person instead.
Japanese green tea covers an enormous range, and choosing online isn't easy. If you've tried yours and it isn't for you, email info@nioteas.com within 30 days with your order number and a line on what you didn't enjoy. We'll send a different tea of equal or lower value, free. Nothing to post back — keep it, share it, or try brewing it cooler. Once per order.
Email info@nioteas.com within 30 days with your order number and a photo. We'll approve it, cover the return postage with a prepaid label or a reimbursement, and refund you — no restocking fee. Refunds go to your original payment method within 2 business days of the return reaching us; your bank may take another 5–20 to show it.
Unopened items in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days. Tea is sealed for hygiene, so opened packs can't come back — but the swap above covers exactly that situation. Return postage is yours unless the item arrived damaged, defective or incorrect.
Orders to the US and EU ship domestically from our local warehouse, so there's no customs charge and no duty. A small number of destinations are served from our Japan warehouse, where your own customs authority may apply import duty, VAT or a carrier handling fee on delivery. Those are set by your country, not by us. Ask before you order and we'll help you check.
This is, currently, my favorite Sencha. It has the full smell of the seashore while I enjoy it's thick texture. You can brew at 155f for a bit of nuttiness, or 165f for more grass. Wonderful tea, at a great price-point.
Dieser grünttee + ich, wir verstehen uns nicht optimal: er präsentiert sich mir nahezu aromalos. Lasse ich ihn etwas länger ziehen, kippt er grad ins Bittere. Ebenso bei nur leicht höherer Dosierung.
Wir finden einfach nicht zueinander. 😭
This tea has a nice vegetal quality to it and a nice balance of sweet, astringent & bitter. The taste lasts quite a long time on the tongue too. For the price I recently paid for its very good.
I absolutely love this tea. It’s more umami and thick than a lot of green teas, which makes a really comforting tea. The flavor is more delicate and sweet on the second steep. Super high caffeine content and beautiful green color too.
Best sencha from Mr. Henta! I've tried Saemidori and Okumidori cultivar from Henta San, but Asanoka is the best for me. First infusion is more grassy, minty with a hint of nutty flavour and sweet , yellow green colour. Second infusion is more earthy, nutty more astringent taste, raw green colour.
Asanoka - fragrance of the morning as they say in Japan. Excellent and refreshing tea!
Thanks Nio Teas!
Tasting and aroma notes detected in different phases of Tasting:
Dry leaf - kelloggs red berries cereal, banana flower, sticky rice dumplings, dried apricot, honey granola bar, cucumber peel, steamed tenderstem brocoli, tomato vines, freeze dried strawberries.
Wet leaf - similar to dry leaf except more intense on the sour aroma notes with an additional note of dried seaweed and toasted sesame seeds and white soy arare.
Texture - thick, warming, lingers for a while
Taste - much more umami and savoury than the most recent sencha sample I tried. Has notes of tonkotsu broth, black sesame seeds, freshly steamed baozi, white soy arare and wakame seaweed, lovage and chicory.
This is one for the people who love a more brothy, umami and savoury heavy sencha. A little trickier to brew if you want it strong without oversteeping but with more Japanese greens it's best to stick to a lower temperature of 60⁰C - 65⁰C. I also like that this particular sample yielded at least 6 or 7 good infusions in comparison to the Chiran Shizuku sencha I tried from Nio, nothing wrong with a short tea session and getting 2 or 3 very strong brews (I've heard that it's very common to discard the leaves after 2 or 3), but personally I think it's better value for your money when a tea can give you a little more than that, so you can enjoy it for longer. This might be one of my favourite samples so far.😌🫶🏻
This one has a lot of vegetal and umami notes early on with a refreshing, fruity aftertaste. As always, I adore the vibrant green liquor. For this tea I followed the brewing guide, and it was just about perfect, but a little hotter water wouldn't hurt. Excellent tea!
Tea leaves are automatically more delicate looking. Also smells fruity and bright. So the lower brewing temp makes a lot of sense.
5 grams, 60℃, 60 seconds. Infusion 1: beautiful glow in the liquor. Gentle but assertive attack, with nice high notes. This is a lovely tea. Grassy. Slight umami this spirals down into a warm sweetness. 2nd infusion: the liquor color deepens and the pour slows in the teapot, as usually happens with Japanese teas. Fruity notes wake up in the second infusion. There's a sort of bright, chocolatey high note. Third infusion is that comically deep green, which comes out in a trickle. Rich and deep aftertaste.
The Henta Asanoka is my current favorite from Nio teas (out of 5 tried) and it's quite reasonably priced. This one is vegetal, with the amazing ocean aroma I remember from my first good sencha many years ago, and no nuttiness. Solid and a great daily drinker.
I really like the flavor of this sencha tea. I've tried the Fukamushi Sencha Kagoshima Murasaki earlier and loved it. While the flavor is different it is really good.
Good sencha. More umami, less grass than others I've tried; not a good nor bad thing from my perspective, just an observation for others looking to pick out a Sencha from Nio's lineup.
First-rate website with clean design, easy ordering process. Excellent product. Good job keeping me informed on order and delivery status. Will definitely use again.
