A wonderful, fine grade, daily Japanese green tea. One step below our Sencha Superior, but similar in feel and certified organic!
Tasting Notes: This is a full bodied, strong but smooth, wonderfully balanced quintessential Japanese green tea. Savory umami, a touch grassy bite (depending on how it’s steeped), maybe a hint of floral, and very very green.
Origin: Uji, Japan
Preparation: Use 1 full Tb per 16 oz of purified 175º water. Steep 45 seconds (add 15 seconds per each additional steep). Longer steep times will pull out more “bite” but I suggest going by 10-15 second increments (not minutes) as Japanese green teas tend to be fairly sensitive. Good for at least 3 infusions.
As always, experiment with different temperatures and steep times to see what you prefer for each individual tea. Make it perfectly suited to your taste!

This just isn't my style. I'm sure it's a great tea, but I'm not a fan of the flavor.
