Japanese Green Tea Sencha Superior 40 g

Product description Japanese Green Tea Sencha Superior 40 g

Japanese green tea - Sencha Superior - is harvested three or four times a year, but with each harvest the tea leaves lose their quality and strength. We offer you the first harvest (Ichiban) of this classic Japanese tea. Sencha is grown in full sun, so it contains much more of the beneficial nutrient catechin than other green teas. Its infusion has a bright, yellowish-green colour thanks to the strong sunlight. Sencha tastes mildly tart and has a wonderfully fresh aroma

Recommended preparation of tea in a 0,6 l teapot:

first infusion

• pour 1 - 1.5 tablespoons of tea into the teapot so that the bottom of the teapot is roughly covered
• fill with boiled water at 60°C
• do not allow to infuse for 3-5 minutes, during taste and let it infuse longer or strain according to your preference

second infusion

• again pour boiled water over the tea, this time it can be a few degrees warmer, i.e. 60-70°C
• let it infuse for 5-7 minutes (more or less according to your taste) and once the infusion suits your taste, strain

the third infusion

• and for the third time pour boiled water over the tea, again it can be a few degrees warmer, i.e. 70-80°C
• let the tea infuse for approximately 5-10 minutes (more or less according to your taste) and once the infusion suits your taste, strain

.

 Note on preparation: the times given are approximate and it is good, for example, to pour off some tea after a certain time of infusion, taste it and, if necessary, strain the whole infusion or let it continue to infuse. The tea should be to your liking, and if you prefer stronger teas, for example, use more leaves or extend the steeping time. Don't be afraid to experiment with the tea, it's the only way to discover the flavours that suit you best.
