Description

Steamed green tea from the Shizuoka prefecture of Japan, harvested in the early spring (the first flush). Sencha is one of Japan’s most popular and beloved teas. The higher grades, like our Sencha Premier, tend to have more delicate flavor profiles. A crisp and clean cup with notes of freshly steamed edamame. Refreshing, sweet, and much more delicate than most Senchas. If you’re new to Sencha (and the vibrant teas of Japan in general), this would be a great place to start.

Ingredients: Sencha green tea

Steeping Instructions: Steep at 165° for 2 minutes.
