Palais des Thés Sencha Ariake Green Tea – Japanese 100g

Palais des Thés sources this bright, grassy sencha from Ariake, one of Japan's most celebrated tea regions. The leaves unfurl to reveal a clean, vegetal character with a whisper of natural sweetness—a tea that tastes like its mountain origin. At 100 grams, this is a canister for steady drinkers or curious experimenters.

About this product

Sencha from Ariake is shade-grown and hand-picked at the peak of the season, then pan-fired to preserve its vivid green color and delicate flavor profile. Palais des Thés, the Parisian tea merchant, has built its reputation on sourcing single-origin leaves that reward a careful steep. This sencha carries that philosophy: no blends, no fluff, just the tea itself.

How to enjoy

• Steep one teaspoon per 200ml of water at 70–75°C for 2–3 minutes.
• Pour into a clear glass to watch the leaves dance and the liquor brighten.
• A morning ritual or an afternoon pause; pairs well with subtle pastries or simply silence.
• Re-steep the same leaves 2–3 times; each infusion reveals new notes.

⭐ Why we love this

This is tea stripped to its essence—no marketing, just the craft of Ariake's shade-grown leaves meeting Palais des Thés' uncompromising sourcing philosophy. The mountain terroir translates directly into your cup, a reminder that great tea, like great Spanish wine, begins in the soil.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Steep this sencha alongside delicate Spanish almendras garrapiñadas or a simple butter biscuit; the tea's clean vegetal notes won't compete with subtlety. Perfect for a contemplative afternoon break, or pair with light seafood dishes—the bright acidity complements grilled white fish beautifully.

📍 From Spain

While the tea originates from Japan's prestigious Ariake region, this canister arrives via El Corte Inglés, Spain's premier curator of global gourmet selections. Palais des Thés, the Parisian merchant behind this sourcing, exemplifies the same exacting European standards for single-origin excellence that define Spain's finest tea and coffee imports.
