Green Tea by Maeda-en

Sen-cha is an ubiquitous drink in Japan, and ranges from premium quality to every-day teas. Maeda-en’s Traditional Sen-cha is for those who want to drink quality green tea every day.
Our Traditional Sen-cha is made from late harvest teas, which has a robust flavor that is balanced at the same time.

Steep 1 tbsp of leaves in 12oz of hot water(165-190F) for 1 minute, then enjoy!

This is my daily sencha. I quite enjoy it, as it’s nice and sweet when brewed properly. I’m always suprised by how much the leaves expand in the pot.

Affordable, a little too smoky for a sencha, had a musk to it. It just tasted off to me. It’s ok iced. I don’t think I would buy it again.

A good anytime-sencha. Nothing special, but good flavour overall.

Sometimes, unfussy bancha really does the trick. Lazy second and third infusions were great too!
