Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
JAPANESE SENCHA GREEN TEA: Try this particularly fine green tea with a grassy and vegetal taste. Since sencha is grown in full sunlight, it contrasts to matcha and gyokuro which are mainly grown in the shade.JAPAN: Our Japanese Sencha green tea is grown in the Kagoshima prefecture of Japan. The weather conditions there are ideal for growing both tea and fruit. Kagoshima is the 2nd largest tea producing region in Japan and has recently obtained recognition for its growth and processing of high grade green teas.
