Spring Sencha

This unique Hakusei Sencha presents a profound savory depth, reminiscent of nori and forest mushrooms, complemented by a delicate hint of nettles. A lingering fruity sweetness beautifully balances the. It leans umami, savory 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 Fukuoka, Japan from the Hakusei cultivar. This batch is from the Spring 2024 harvest.

Starts at $21.00 from Nari Tea, or about $0.46/g. A 40g package gets you around 7 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $2.78 per session. Explore more green teas on Teadar.
