Sencha is the principal exported Japanese tea and is offered in a wide range of qualities. Low grades have coarse, yellow-green leaves and often produce a grassy, somewhat bitter tea. Higher qualities by comparison have elegant, flat, dark-green leaves yielding a fragrant, aromatic cup with a refreshing flavor. This Sencha is an exceptional value. We bought it for its pleasant, sweet taste . Try it as a basic, everyday green tea. Also good when chilled.
Recommendations: Use 1 level tsp. per 6 oz. cup; heat fresh, cold water until steam rises (180° F); let steep for 1-2 min
