More infusions
All teas can be infused several times. So you not only have longer something from the tea but it also dissolves more and more healthy substances from the tea. Here you can try different temperatures and infusion times to find out what you like best.
Cold infusion
Our Sencha teas are also particularly well-suited for cold brewing: simply pour cold water over double the amount of Sencha and let it steep for 5–10 minutes. Your delicious, refreshing drink is ready. Our tutorial video below shows you this simple and incredibly refreshing brewing method.
Storage
The green teas come in a sealed and resealable flavor bag. The removal is thus super easy and the tea stays fresh for a long time.
