Organic Sencha

Description

Sencha is the most popular tea in Japan, comprising around 80% of tea production in the country. The leaves are steamed, which lends a different character than Chinese greens, which are largely pan-roasted. This method gained popularity following the introduction of tea leaves to Japan in the 17th century. This tea is light and floral with a medley of sweet green notes and a melon finish. Certified Organic.
