Sencha Suginomoto "From the Roots of Cedar" is a moderately invigorating tea with a pleasant sweetness and a light hint of creaminess. Thanks to the careful asamushi processing (light steaming), the tea preserves its delicate flavor and fresh aroma, transporting you to the region of deep mountains and green forests along the Eastern White River. This tea is an ideal companion for moments of peace and meditation.

Nengancha 念願茶 is the name of the plantation located in the village of Higashishirakawa (“Eastern White River”) in Gifu Prefecture. Situated at an altitude of 450–500 meters, surrounded by dense forests, and facing south, this plantation benefits from a unique microclimate ideal for tea cultivation. High annual rainfall (approximately 2,500 mm), frequent mists, and significant temperature differences between day and night provide perfect conditions for producing high-quality sencha.
