+ Taste
This loose Sencha has a mild, fresh aromatic taste. It smells very fruity after infusion and has a light green color. Compared to our Sencha No.1, it is somewhat milder and not quite as intense, but thus also seems even fresher.
+ Producer
Mr. Haruki has been growing green tea for 17 years in the fourth generation. He runs his own family business. His great-grandfather was a green tea pioneer who moved from Shizuoka to Miyazaki over 100 years ago to introduce modern green tea cultivation. The 5-man operation consists of just Haruki-san, his wife, parents and younger brother.
+ Cultivation
The Sencha is of course grown completely pesticide-free and without chemical fertilizers. We have also had this checked externally - you can see the pesticide report in the picture gallery above. So you can be sure that our tea is 100% free of pollutants.
Mr. Haruki uses Yabukita cultivar tea bushes for his fresh Sencha. You can not do anything with it? We explain it in our FAQ.
+ Preparation & Storage
1-2 teaspoons per cup / 70-90 degrees / 30-90 seconds
The loose tea is infused in a pot with a strainer. Alternatively, you can use fillable disposable tea bags. It is a sweet, aromatic and smooth green tea and tastes both beginners and green tea connoisseurs. Our tutorial video below shows you the classic preparation.
More infusions
It can, like any good Sencha, of course, be infused several times. So you have not only 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 Senchas are particularly suitable for cold brewing: simply pour double the amount of Sencha with cold water and steep for 5-10 minutes. Ready is the delicious refreshment. Our tutorial video below shows you this simple and mega refreshing preparation method.
Storage
The Sencha comes in a sealed and resealable flavor bag. The removal is thus super easy and the tea stays fresh for a long time.
