Japanese Sencha

This sencha produces a bittersweet cup that embodies Japan’s disciplined yet respectful culture. This tea is processed in classic fukamushi style by which the tea leaves are steamed a longer time contributing to a rounder, sweeter, emerald green cup. We are very fortunate to offer this outstanding value. Cup quality such as this is not often found outside of Japan. It is only because of our esteemed broker’s relationship with the Chairman of Hanase Garden that we are able to offer this wonderful sencha. Optimum brew: A round teaspoon of leaves per cup for 3 infusions. Brewing technique: To get three flavorful infusions from this tea, start with "cooler" water approx. 165 degrees F for the first 2 infusions. This allows the natural sweetness to come forward. Take the water temperature up to approx 185 degrees F on the third and final steep. Contents: 3 oz/85 g green tea.
