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.  Our Sencha leaves are grown in China but are steamed in the traditional Japanese method. This tea is light and floral with a medley of sweet green notes and a melon finish. Certified Organic.

Recommendations: Use 2 level tsp. (or 3 grams) of leaves per 6 oz. of water; heat fresh, cold water to 160°F (simmering); steep for 2-3 minutes.

Or, use 2 level tbsp. (or 6 grams) of leaves per 6 oz. of water; heat fresh, cold water to about 175°F; steep for 1 minute. We recommend brewing in a pre-warmed Kyusu or loose in your teapot with plenty of room to expand.
