Japanese tea: help with translation

Long story short: My mother has a friend whose friend visited Japan recently. She brought my mother's friend a tin of tea. She didn't really want the tea, so she sent it to me. I drink my fair share of sencha and had a brief affair with genmaicha, but drinking these teas certainly didn't teach me how to read and comprehend Japanese. I did however, manage to find the vendor's Website:

and its online shop:

but had no luck finding this specific product. So I took some photos and uploaded them.

Packaging:

A photo of the tea (the flash has lightened it a bit):

The tea is a fairly dark green. It's amazingly fragrant. Given then fact that it's 150g leads me to think it is not likely gyokuro. In any case, can one of you please help me?

Thanks,

Ben

Thanks for the assistance. When you said info on the way, I thought you meant you had e-mailed me. Sorry about the confusion.

This is sencha. The first character is sen - fryied, second cha(tya) - tea. The green box is upside down and I am too lazy today... :) Sasha.

Thanks. I'm hoping you can dig deep and find motivation to tell me more based on my photos.

And you're right. I had the box lid upside down. Good catch.
