Sencha Green Tea
Sencha Green Tea is an everyday tea and contains a large concentration of Vitamin C. About 80% of all Japanese teas exported are of the Sencha variety.
It is grown in full sunlight and picked in early spring after the leaves have developed their balance of sweetness and astringency. Sencha is a vegetal flavoured tea, recognized for its delicate sweetness and floral aromas.
Brewing Sencha Green Tea Water - Use cold, filtered water. Avoid tap water if possible since the chlorine may affect the quality of tea. Heat water to a rolling boil and allow it to sit for a minutes. Green tea is more delicate than black tea so you want to make sure that the water is a little cooler. Boiling water also cooks the leaves and results in them losing their flavour. Steeping time - Steep for 1-2 minutes. Sencha when over brewed, can turn bitter.
