Sencha, Japan’s most popular and beloved type of tea, comes from tealeaves that are steamed before drying to preserve their fresh, green flavor, potent antioxidants, and health-promoting properties. This reserve-grade sencha comes from the Yabukita plant cultivar, and offers a bright, vegetal flavor evocative of fresh rain in a spring meadow, with hints of buttered snow peas and sunflower seeds. Brew with water slightly below boiling (160-180°F) for 1½ -3 minutes to maintain this tea’s inherent sweetness, smooth mouthfeel, and dewy, umami flavor.
