From Jugetsudo, this Yuzu Sencha is an intricate blending of tastes – umami from green tea and tartness from yuzu, the Japanese citrus fruit associated with winter. This zesty organic blend of loose leaf tea is uplifting and unique. The Japanese tea shop Jugetsudo was started in 1980 by Maruyama Nori, the nori (dried seaweed) merchant that was founded in 1854. More than 160 years of tradition and experience pursuing the highest quality ingredients along with the spirit of “Cha-Zen” promise an enjoyable fragrance of tea that will stimulate your senses while providing a sense of comfort. The stylish, reusable tin can contains 50g of yuzu sencha.

Surprise someone as they pull cranes out of the box! Cranes are symbolic in Japan as a symbol of good fortune and longevity. This past year, Japan House staff and volunteers handcrafted each strand as part of our "Arigatou no kokoro" theme (With a Thankful Heart). Hang a strand from a doorway, in a window or wherever you need to be reminded of gratitude, and to bring joy to any recipient. No two are alike with a handwritten tag at the bottom. Each crane is made with heavy cardstock. Top and bottom large cranes measure approximately 10"Wx5"H, middle medium crane measures approximately 18"Wx8"H.
