Spring Sencha

This Sencha offers a comforting embrace with its round, toasted corn notes that beautifully transition into a delightful floral aftertaste. Hints of crisp, raw apple emerge, adding a refreshing layer . It leans corn, floral and sweet.

Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.

Grown in Shizuoka, Japan from the Yumewakaba cultivar. This batch is from the Spring 2024 harvest.

Starts at $12.00 from Nari Tea, or about $0.20/g. A 50g package gets you around 8 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.20 per session. Explore more green teas on Teadar.
