Ingredients: Single source Sencha tea from Ugi, Japan

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Fresh and grassy, with a hint of oceanic breeze, reminiscent of a walk through a Japanese forest after the rain.
• Flavor: Clean, bright, and slightly astringent with a rich, earthy depth. The tea’s natural sweetness and umami are perfectly balanced, creating a harmonious and satisfying cup.

Brewing Tips:

1. Water Temperature: For the best flavor, use spring or filtered water heated to around 175°F (80°C). Avoid boiling water, as it can scorch the delicate leaves and result in a bitter taste.
2. Tea Quantity: Use one teaspoon (approximately 3 grams) of Sencha leaves per 8-ounce cup. Adjust according to personal taste preference.
3. Steeping Time: Steep for 1-2 minutes to achieve the perfect balance of flavor and aroma. Sencha’s delicate leaves release their flavors quickly, so it’s important not to over-steep.
4. Multiple Infusions: Sencha can be re-steeped 2-3 times, with each infusion offering a slightly different nuance of flavor. Increase the steeping time by 30 seconds for each subsequent infusion.
5. Serving Suggestion: Enjoy Sencha warm to fully appreciate its pure, natural taste. It can also be cooled and served over ice for a refreshing iced tea that retains its distinctive character.

Indulge in the authentic taste of Japan with our Sencha, a tea that embodies simplicity, elegance, and the art of tea-making. Whether enjoyed on its own or blended with other flavors, Sencha offers a timeless, tranquil experience in every cup.
