Description

Japanese Sencha is a classic steamed green tea from the Shizuoka province of Japan, the style that fills everyday cups across Tokyo. Ours is fresh and spring grass with light notes of citrus and toasted bread, medium in body for a green, and forgiving enough to drink from morning to afternoon.

We buy it from the Kaburagi family in central Shizuoka and choose leaf from the middle of the season, which keeps it approachable in flavor and in price. Brew it with water off the boil, around 160 degrees, and it stays sweet and clean instead of turning bitter from too many catechins in your 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
