Overview
Pairing: sushi, steamed vegetables, or citrusy salads
These tea leaves are folded lengthwise while drying on warm trays and then heated in wood fuelled pans to stop the fermentation. The leaves in sencha tea have a distinctive grass green colour and the grass-like flavour and sweetness will be a pleasure to the sencha enthusiast. With sour cherries for added fruity flavour. Brew for 1-3 minutes. Water temperature: 75-80C Use 4-5 heaped teaspoons of tea per litre of water.
