Deep-steamed Sencha Jade

Origin: Shizuoka, Japan Aroma: fresh, grassy Flavor: umami, creamy sweet Sencha 03 Jade is a deep-steamed sencha (fukumushi-cha), a specialty tea type developed in the Tokyo region. Steamed longer than the usual sencha, this gives the tea a distinct sweet taste and can endure a high temperature of water without being bitter. As the steaming process is longer, the tea leaves are more powdery and hence the brewing time can be shortened. Suitable for fast-paced people and brewing in the office. The color of the tea is deep green just like jade.
