Description

We call this tea Japanese Sencha because not all Sencha on the market are from Japan. Our Sencha is a very fine one from the central Shizuoka province and can be found in many homes in Tokyo. It is a pleasant and approachable green tea, a fine choice for everyday, in the way our founder, John Harney, always began his mornings with this cup.

 Details: The Kaburagi family has sold to Americans for over 110 years. They are well known in Tokyo and throughout Japan as a pre-eminent supplier of tea. They supply this pleasant Sencha from central Shizuoka. To keep the price somewhat reasonable, we choose teas from the middle of the season. John Harney drank this tea everyday for over 10 years. He valued the pleasant flavor and the antioxidants.
 Dry Leaves: The leaves from this tea are a medium lime green color. Since this is a traditional sencha (futsumushi), the leaves are more identifiable than in the deep-steamed fukamushi.
 Liquor: The liquor is a medium green, not as intense as the Ichiban. The green is a truer green than the Bancha, which tends more towards yellow.
 Aroma: Our Japanese Sencha has pleasant spinachy notes, with slight roast flavors that are similar to toasted bread.
 Flavors: This is a very pleasant green tea. The mild vegetal flavors with light accents of citrus and toast make this a tea that can handle all your moods, every day.
 Caffeine Level: Caffeinated
 Body: Medium-bodied. As a mid-season Sencha, this green tea has good levels of amino acids and more body than most green teas.
 Brewing Time: 2 to 3 minutes
 Brewing Temp: 160º
