A bright green tea with fresh cut-grass notes, this is the classic japanese tea. sencha is naturally rich in antioxidants. japan's green teas have accentuated vegetal flavors, with aromatic notes of cut grass and ocean air. this is largely due to the initial steaming of the leaves, a practice that heightens the rich, fresh, almost raw leaf qualities of the tea. the brightness of the liquor is developed as well, and the best quality senchas are a lime-green color in the cup. while more and more "sencha" is actually china-grown tea made for the japanese domestic market, we believe the distinctive varietals and expert leaf processing within japan is necessary for producing a cup of true sencha. box contains 25 tea bags. each tea bag comes individually wrapped:.
