Sencha Shin-Ryoku Green Tea
More about this item ....
Our Sencha Shin-Ryoku brews a cup that is deep green in color, which is strong, fresh, and vegetative in flavor. It is one of the most popular teas in Japan. This particular sencha is grown in the Honyama region of the Shizuoka prefecture.
Senchas are noted for their delicate sweetness, mild astringency and flowery-green aroma. Unlike the yellow appearance of Chinese green teas, sencha appears green to almost clear in the cup. It serves as a good accompaniment to seafood, and its assertive taste even stands up to chocolate. It is grown in full sunlight, and the youngest tea leaves and buds are used to produce this tea. The leaves are steamed to halt oxidation, rather than fried like most greens. The leaves are then dried and rolled into shape.
