Organic Sencha Loose Leaf Tea - Japanese Origin Sencha Green Tea - USDA & JAS Organic - [100g/3.5 Ounce Value Size]- Green Tea Leaves Loose Organic - by AprikaLife

AprikaLife's sencha loose leaf tea is a steamed green tea made from the Camellia sinensis tea plant and imported from Japan. Sencha green tea is made from picking the Japanese tea leaves and quickly steaming them. This prevents oxidization and locks in the green color and flavor in the loose leaf tea leaves. The sencha green tea leaves are then rolled, shaped, and dried. Japanese sencha green tea loose leaf tends to have a refreshing flavor that can be described as vegetal, green, seaweedy, or grassy. Flavors vary with different types of sencha tea leaves and how they are brewed, but overall can be described as earthy. Sencha green tea loose leaf is rich in antioxidants, may help induce cell death or apoptosis in cancerous cells, may boost metabolism and energy, and lower blood pressure. This is how the Japanese enjoy it, and though in Japan is it typically drank warm, with its vibrant green color and fresh flavor, this organic loose leaf tea also makes for a refreshing iced tea beverage when desired. The traditional Japanese way of brewing and serving sencha loose leaf tea involves a number of special tools and dishes. We suggest following all the recommendations on the back of the packaging for the casual, at-home enjoyment of Sencha loose leaf chai tea. Japanese sencha teas prefer a lower brewing temperature of around 170 F—if you don't have a thermometer, use water that has just barely started to simmer. Sencha loose leaf tea and matcha green tea powder are two of the most admired and consumed teas in Japan. For maximum enjoyment of our sencha green tea we recommend you use the special tea wares that help deliver the best taste and all the benefits of drinking our organic sencha loose leaf tea.
