Konacha is a by-product that is born from the processing of Japanese tea.  Although not a fine powder like Matcha, Konacha is made of the tea dust and tea flakes that fall off the leaf while processing the teas.  Due to the fact that Konacha is composed of tea dust and small flakes, the tea is quickly absorbed into the hot water, and is what is used in most Sushi restaurants.

High Grade Sencha Tea leaves

Our Sencha Konacha uses first flush high grade Sencha leaves, and is quite a treat.  This tea is bold, sharp, deep, and full of all the goodness that is included in Sencha.  Very refreshing, and great as a wake-me-up tea, or as a tea for when you are eating Sushi, Sashimi, or greasy meals.

Cheap and Good Konacha

Due to the fact that this tea is a by-product, it is considerably cheaper than the full leaves, yet is often easier to find good konacha than it is to find good full leaf teas.

The only drawback is that the entire flavor is “used up” in the first infusion, and it leaves very little left for a second or third infusion.  On the other hand, all the goodness is packed into the first infusion, so is great for tea on the go!
