Blending sencha with matcha is very popular in Japan. With some iterations of sencha and matcha blends, the blending is often done to mask the low quality of the sencha. Our blend uses premium quality sencha and matcha, resulting in a tea that is flavorful for both the first and second cup. It is an easy-brewing tea for those who enjoy sencha, matcha or are new to both. Origin: Sencha: Shizuoka/Matcha: Nishio Harvest: First Flush Cultivar: Yabukita Tasting Profile: The first cup invites us to enjoy matcha's sweetness and umami profile with a touch of sencha's classic bright, slightly grassy flavor. With the second cup, the sencha starts to shine more as the leftover matcha provides a softening effect to the flavor profile. Den's Preferred Brewing: Leaf-water ratio: 2-3 g (~1 tsp)/4 oz Water: 180°F; Steep: 60 sec 2nd Cup Water: Boiled; Steep 15 sec
