No.51 Sencha

Green Tea by Steven Smith Teamaker

About this Tea
Thin needle-like leaves produce a tea of highly vegetal taste and aroma with brothy nuances of roasted rice. Harvested in the spring and early summer in the Saga Prefecture near Ureshino, the leaves are steamed to prevent oxidization of the leaf and preserve its vibrant green color and fresh flavor.

Ingredients
Full leaf Japanese green tea from the Mt. Fuji region.

Preparation
For best flavor, bring freshly drawn filtered water to 190 degrees. Steep three minutes. Contemplate multiple views of Mt. Fuji.

I love Green Tea’s and Sencha happens to be my favorite variety. When you first open the bag the tea perfumes your nose with hints of sweet grass. It’s amazing. The tea has a smooth vegetal taste with a hint of steamed rice. It is the perfect drink if you are looking for a pure green tea.
