A popular Chinese style tea, often served with meals.

Farmers harvest sencha green tea from the top leaves and buds of plants grown in full sunlight.

It is regarded as a premium quality tea, with a golden colour and crisp, grassy flavour.

Sencha is a green tea, and as such it undergoes minimal processing and no fermentation.

How To Use:

Make green tea by putting 1 tsp per cup into a teapot or infuser. Pour water over the top that is just off the boil (80°C). Steep for 1 – 3 mins. There’s no need to add anything, it’s perfect on its own.

‘Just off the boil’ means to boil water and then wait 30 seconds before using.

Storage:

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. See Best Before date.
