In tropical Okinawa, sanpin cha can be found year-round in vending machines and supermarkets as it not only pairs well with traditional Okinawan food but also helps with hydration, especially during the hot summer months. 

Made with a custom blend of green tea leaves sourced from China and Taiwan and infused with jasmine blossoms, this refreshing tea is less bitter than oolong tea but sharp enough to refresh the palate between rich or greasy foods. The addition of the jasmine imparts a light sweetness and floral aroma. Since it is naturally low in caffeine, sanpin cha can be enjoyed any time of day, with Okinawans typically drinking it hot iced in the morning and hot in the evening. 

Having been in business for over  60 years, Higaseicha is knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. The company believes that health is a treasure and aims to deliver safe and delicious products that support the body. Their line of bottled teas and juices, as well as turmeric-based goods, are all carefully inspected to ensure quality and the company works hard to educate the farmers that it works with about pesticides and product safety so customers can enjoy the timeless pleasure of tea without worry.

Suggested uses: For the perfect cup of sanpin cha, simply place one tea bag in 200ml (7oz) of hot water. Steep for 3-6mins and remove the tea bag. Steeping the tea for a shorter time offers a refreshing, light flavor while steeping it for longer results in a stronger taste perfect for pairing with sweets or cutting through the greasiness of a heavy meal. It can also be enjoyed iced as a refreshing summer drink.
