    DESCRIPTION

    This Sencha can be found in homes throughout Tokyo. A very approachable tea that offers the soft, light flavor found only in the finest green teas. Loaded with healthy anti- oxidants!

    Quantity: 20 individually wrapped tea bags per box.
    Ingredients: Green Tea. All Natural.
    Certifications: Kosher, 1% For The Planet
    Details: The Kaburagi family has sold to Americans for over 110 years. They are well known in Tokyo and throughout Japan as a preeminent supplier of tea. They supply this pleasant Sencha from central Shizouka.
    Dry Leaves: The leaves from this tea are a medium lime green color. Since this is a traditional sencha (futsumishi) 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 to be more yellow.
    Aroma: Japanese Sencha has pleasant spinachy notes, with slight roast flavors that are a similar to a toasted bread.
    Caffeine Level: 30- 60 mil.
    Body: As a mid-season Sencha, this green tea has good levels of amino acids and more body than most green teas.
    Flavors: A 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.
    Brewing Time: 3 minutes
    Brewing Temp: 160˚
