TASTING NOTE

Sencha Kamo: The Emerald Radiance of Japan

Sencha Kamo is an exceptional blend that has achieved resounding success in Japan. This tea embodies the perfect synergy between two terroirs and two types of green tea: the elegant structure of Kyoto Sencha and the aromatic power of a premium Matcha from the Aichi region. Whether you are a Matcha enthusiast or a Sencha lover, this tea will captivate you with its fascinating color and unparalleled smoothness.

THE SOMMELIER'S RATING
A fusion of terroirs and flavors

This blend was designed to offer an immediate and generous sensory experience:

  • Kyoto Sencha (Yabukita base): Made from the renowned Yabukita cultivar, this green tea provides a noble vegetal base and crystal-clear clarity. Its low acidity makes it a particularly easy-to-drink tea for everyday enjoyment.
  • Aichi Matcha: High-quality Matcha powder coats the Sencha leaves. It thickens the liquor, giving it a spectacular emerald green color and a velvety texture on the palate.
  • Intensity and smoothness: Thanks to the addition of Matcha, Sencha Kamo unfolds deeper flavors and a richer mouthfeel than a classic green tea, while remaining remarkably smooth.

AROMATIC PROFILE
Fresh vegetal notes and a light bitterness

  • On the nose: Fresh vegetal notes and a light hazelnut fragrance characteristic of Matcha.
  • On the palate: A rich and creamy attack. The flavors are dense, with a beautiful presence of umami, followed by a smooth finish and very little astringency.
  • Liquid: A vibrant, opaque, and luminous emerald green.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS THINK

Renowned for its masterful balance, this Sencha is a favorite among those seeking the classic elegance of teas from the Uji region (Kyoto). Here are the key points most frequently mentioned in our customer reviews (Certishopping reviews, Google reviews, and tasting notes):

  • A delicate, vegetal sweetness: Customers often highlight the absence of pronounced bitterness. "It's a very silky tea on the palate," notes one enthusiast. It reveals notes of tender grass and a very subtle floral touch.
  • A perfect balance between freshness and umami: Reviews appreciate the "roundness" of this Sencha. "It's not too sharp; it has a lovely richness that coats the palate," explains a loyal customer. It's considered a "very harmonious" and soothing tea.
  • A clear, yellow-green liquor: The clarity of the infusion is often cited as a sign of its high quality. Customers describe a "springlike" and "crystalline" color that invites immediate relaxation.
  • A delicate aromatic persistence: Tasters appreciate the lingering finish. "After the cup, a sweet and fresh note remains, prolonging the pleasure for several minutes," one review notes.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA?

Japanese Sencha Kamo green tea is a concentrate of active ingredients preserved thanks to a light and precise steaming process, typical of the finest teas from Kyoto:

  • Rich in antioxidants (EGCG): Like all high-quality Sencha teas, it helps neutralize free radicals and supports the immune system daily.
  • Supports concentration (L-Theanine): Its natural amino acid content promotes calm alertness, ideal for clearing the mind without the stimulation of coffee.
  • Detox and drainage action: It stimulates the metabolism and facilitates the natural elimination of toxins, providing a feeling of lightness after drinking.
  • Vitamin content: This green tea retains a significant portion of its vitamins (especially C and E), essential for overall vitality and a radiant complexion.

WHY CHOOSE "KAMO" SENCHA GREEN TEA?

  • Japanese success: A recipe acclaimed by enthusiasts in Japan for its perfect balance.
  • Double pleasure: Enjoy the benefits and taste of Matcha with the ease of preparation of Sencha.
  • Easy to drink: A tea with character but without acidity, ideal for any time of day.

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR SENCHA GREEN TEA?
Hot or iced tea

Sencha Kamo is a visually striking and generous tea. To extract its full richness:

  • Water temperature: 75°C - 85°C. A moderate temperature preserves the delicate flavor of the Matcha without burning the Sencha. Spring or filtered water is recommended.
  • Brewing time: 1 to 1'30 minutes. The Matcha releases its flavor instantly. A short infusion is sufficient to obtain an intense and balanced brew.
  • Dosage: Use approximately 4g to 5g of tea per 150ml of water.
  • Re-infusions: Like all high-quality green teas, this tea can be infused up to two times. For subsequent infusions, you can slightly increase the temperature and reduce the brewing time to 30 seconds.
  • Sommelier's tip: Gently swirl the teapot before pouring to evenly distribute the matcha powder and achieve a uniform emerald color.

  • Kyoto: The Soul of Japanese Sencha

    While tea is cultivated in many prefectures across Japan, Kyoto (and more specifically the Uji region) holds a sacred place. It was here that tea leaf processing techniques were perfected in the 18th century, giving rise to Sencha as we know it today.


    A Land Blessed by the Gods

    The success of Kyoto Sencha rests on unique geographical conditions:

    • Climate and Mist: The plantations located along the Uji and Kizu rivers benefit from frequent morning mist. This natural mist protects the leaves from direct sunlight, promoting the concentration of amino acids and limiting bitterness.
    • Well-Drained Soils: The region's hilly terrain provides rich, well-drained soils, essential to the vigor of the Yabukita cultivar, the predominant variety used for our Sencha teas.


    The Craftsmanship: The Kyoto Method

    Kyoto Sencha is distinguished by its remarkable aesthetics and technical precision:

    • Steaming (Asamushi): Traditionally, Kyoto teas undergo a short steaming process. This preserves the integrity of the leaf and results in a clear, bright liquor.
    • Pine Needles: The rolling is so precise that the dry leaves resemble fine, dark green needles. Once infused, they unfurl to release a complex bouquet.

    Aromatic Profile: Elegance and Lingering Flavor

    Unlike the more robust Senchas from southern Japan, Kyoto Sencha emphasizes refinement:

    • Marine and Vegetal Notes: It reveals flavors of fresh grass, spring greens, and a hint of iodine.
    • Sweetness (Amami): A natural sweetness and silky texture characterize the first harvests (Ichibancha).
    • Long finish: This is the hallmark of great Kyoto teas: a flavor that lingers delicately on the palate long after tasting.

     

  • Comparison: Which Kyoto Sencha should you choose at Lupicia?

    To discover the nuances of this terroir, we offer two masterful interpretations:

    • Sencha Tenjin (The Purist): A first-harvest tea of ​​absolute freshness. It embodies the "haute couture" of green tea with its needle-like leaves and exceptional lingering finish. Ideal for those seeking the purity of the Kyoto terroir.
    • Sencha Kamo (The Intense): A bold blend that combines a Kyoto Sencha with the power of an Aichi Matcha. It offers an emerald liquor and a creamier texture, perfect for those who enjoy deep and impactful flavors.

     

    Why succumb to Sencha Kamo?

    While Kyoto Sencha is renowned for its elegance, Sencha Kamo adds a spectacular dimension. By choosing this blend, you make no compromises:

    • The clarity of Kyoto, the smoothness of Aichi: You enjoy the noble structure of the Yabukita cultivar from Kyoto, enhanced by the intensity of a premium Matcha.
    • A visual and gustatory experience: Its emerald green liquor, almost electric, promises a tasting experience of rare sweetness, without any acidity.
    • The success of Japan in your cup: Join the Japanese enthusiasts who have made this tea one of their favorites for its perfect balance and ease of preparation.

    Trying it means adopting a new standard for green tea. Whether you're looking for a comforting tea for the morning or an energizing, antioxidant-rich beverage for the afternoon, Sencha Kamo promises an exceptional moment.
