A mild Chinese green tea with very low astringency. With grassy, fresh and buttery notes Sencha is a great green for your daily tea ritual.
Our organic sencha is produced in Hunan Province, China, using Japanese methods (sencha traditionally being a Japanese green tea). This means the heat applied to inhibit oxidation comes in the form of steam, instead of the dry "pan-frying", which is the usual method used to produce other Chinese teas.
*Chinese Green Tea
*Organically Grown.
- Scoop one heaping teaspoon of tea leaves into your infuser.
- Heat water to 180° - 190° (just before boiling).
- Pour 8 oz. of water over tea leaves.
- Steep tea for 3-5 minutes (depending on taste preference).
- Remove infuser and enjoy tea.
Simply add to your infuser one heaping teaspoonful of leaf per 8 oz. of water and place it in your pot, then add the appropriate amount of 180° - 190° water and let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the infuser and serve!
Our opinion is that a cooled concentrate works best, as regular-strength brew tends to become watery as the ice melts. So, use the above leaf quantities, but half the water, allow it to cool, then pour it over ice and enjoy! The brew will dilute down to proper strength as the ice melts.
