Description
Carpets of bright green, perfectly groomed tea bushes grow beneath the shadow of an active volcano in Kagoshima Prefecture, one of Japan’s premiere tea growing regions. Fertile, volcanic soil and the tea maker’s meticulous steaming techniques give sencha (the traditional tea of Japan) a grassy-pine aroma, deep umami flavor and sweet, fresh finish. Japanese green teas require lower water temperature and steep times than many other tea types (we recommend 180° F for 2 minutes).

Steep Time: 2-3 minutes
Brewing Instructions
General Guide:
- Add tea leaves to a teapot, fill-your-own tea bag or infuser basket.
- Use 1 to 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of leaves per cup (8 oz) of water. Adjust to taste.
- Bring fresh, cold water to a rolling boil, allow it to cool slightly, then pour water over tea leaves and cover.
- Infuse (steep) leaves 2-5 minutes; 3½ minutes is a good average that works well for most tea types. Do not oversteep or tea may become bitter. If you prefer strong tea, simply use more leaves.
- Remove bag or infuser from water or strain leaves. Enjoy!
Water Quality: Tea is only as good as the water used to prepare it. Avoid distilled or unfiltered tap water, which can limit tea’s flavor. Bottled spring water or filtered tap water is ideal.
Water Temperature: Most teas taste best when prepared with water around 195˚F (just below boiling); however, some teas require a lower temperature or they may become bitter.
