Japanese White teas are incredibly rare - Japanese Kiraka White Sencha is exclusive to Tealyra! An exclusive and rare limited production of Japanese White Tea from Shizuoka, Japan. It is made during 1st harvest in spring and exclusively made from handpicked tea leaves! The brew has a very soft, unusually sweet, refreshing taste, and lovely long lasting aftertaste. We import this rare gem directly from craft producers in Japan. This is the most sophisticated, gentle and delicious white tea you can drink. In 2009, Japanese Kiraka WHite Sencha tea received the highest recognition of fine green teas in Japan. |

A little steeping tipLet just-boiled water cool for a minute or two — water that’s too hot can turn delicate leaves bitter. Good leaves give a lovely second cup, too.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
