Sencha 2 oz. Jar

Sencha is the first flush (or picking) of leaves and is not shaded before picking, setting it apart from the similar varieties Gyokuro and Bancha. The leaves are lightly steamed to halt the oxidation process and to bring out the true flavors of the leaves. Light syrup body with a taste of nori and buttered peas. Easy to improperly brew, so care should be exercised when brewing.

Origin: Chiran, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan
