China Sencha Green Tea
China Sencha Green Tea
100g pack
Sencha is one of the best known green tea types and is considered a source of inspiration and vitality. The tea leaves are folded lengthwise while drying on warm trays, then they are heated in wood-fueled pans in order to stop the fermentation. You will immediately recognise the classic long, grass green leaves in this quality tea. After the infusion, the full leaf structure can be seen and the cup has a bright yellow colour. Fresh, grass-like flavours with a soft sweetness on the finish.

Green teas are very sensitive to water temperature. If the tea is infused with water that is too hot it will be rather bitter and display a slight 'metallic' taste. Get the water temperature correct and discover the true delights of green tea.
We recommend that for most green teas water temperature should be around 75°C to 80°C. In practical terms this means allowing the kettle to cool down for about 4-5 minutes after it has switched itself off from boiling... YES! AS LONG AS THIS!!
