Organic Sencha Green Tea - 15 Pyramid Tea Bags

A good cup of Sencha tastes like the ocean. There’s a seaweedy twang on the palate. A light grassiness. It’s a smooth-drinking green tea, traditionally grown from Japanese short-leaf camellia sinensis. This particular batch comes from China. When brewing Sencha, don’t overheat the water – steep the leaves at 80-85ºC for around 20 seconds. A nice short brew really boosts that sweet aroma. Longer steeping (up to 90 seconds) can bring out Sencha’s lingering bitterness and intensify the flavour, but like anything, it’s down to personal taste.
