Shizuoka Sencha (Limited Release)

Organic Shizuoka Sencha (静岡煎茶)

Brew yourself some Springtime in a cup.

Fresh, grassy, and slightly creamy. Sencha is Japan's most popular green tea, and hits all the marks from sweetness to high antioxidants. To top it all off - this limited batch is USDA certified organic :)

Many Japanese green teas are steamed - revealing a slightly creamy, smoother, and sometimes (not always) umami iteration of tea.

This particular one boasts a vibrant display of gold to green needles, and brews a matching yellow-green liquor. If brewing iced - make sure to steep longer, or use more tea to counter water from the melted ice!

__________

For your first steep, we recommend 1g of tea/2oz of water. Steep at 180°F of hot water for ~1.5 minutes. Beyond 2 minutes or 200-212°F, and this brew may "burn" and become astringent, as common with standard green teas.

A little bit of sencha goes a long way!

Each serving can easily resteep 2-3 times. As per usual, the 3rd steep does need to brew longer.
