Sencha

This organic Sencha offers a delightful aromatic profile with a distinct sweetness that brightens the palate. It presents a light body and leaves a clean, refreshing aftertaste, characteristic of a we. It leans fresh, sweet and vegetal.

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 Miyazaki, Japan from the Yabukita cultivar.

Starts at $10.44 from Teemaa, or about $0.21/g. A 50g package gets you around 8 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.26 per session. Explore more green teas on Teadar.
