At the international Monde Selection in Brussels, where over 80 experts recognise exquisite foods from all over the world, this Sencha has won the Gold Award for 15 consecutive years - from 2011 to 2026. We can well understand this, it is one of our absolute favourite varieties. The name says it all: "Mi-shi-ro", "beauty that rises like gentle mist and inner desires".
This full-bodied Sencha captivates with its slightly astringent taste, reminiscent of fresh lamb's lettuce. The fine balance of tart and earthy notes makes it a perfectly rounded blend. The secret lies in the special steaming method directly after harvesting. "Monde Mishiro" is a so-called Fukamushi tea, which is steamed for a particularly long time. This method leads to a more intense taste and a deeper, bright green colour. The steaming process causes the leaves to break down more easily, resulting in a cloudier infusion and enhancing the characteristic rich taste and full aroma. Compared to traditional Sencha, Fukamushi is characterised by its rich umami note and lower bitterness.
We offer Monde Mishiro as loose tea and in the practical tea bag variant.
Hot version
- 300 ml water (70 degrees)
- 4-6 g (3 tsp) tea
- 1-2 minutes brewing time
Cold Brew
- 300 ml water, ice cold
- 6-8 g (4 tsp) tea
- Serve in a glass with ice cubes after five minutes of brewing time
Preparing tea is a personal matter. We recommend a method, but encourage you to experiment with quantities and temperature.
