SENCHA 01 | Japanese Green Tea

50g bag

Regular price $17.00 $17.00 Sale

Our Sencha 01 is characterised by a floral, mellow and refreshing taste. A great everyday tea that can be brewed hot or cold.

Sencha is Japan's most popular green tea, grown under full sunlight and quickly steamed right after picking to deactivate most of the enzymes responsible for the oxidation of the leaves.

Naturally high in antioxidants and moderately low in caffeine.

Being the most produced tea in Japan makes it also a tea with the widest spectrum of quality available, and we are proud to offer an affordable Sencha produced using tea leaves picked during the first flush of the Spring season (Ichiban Cha).

Flavour profile: Floral and mellow, with a refreshing aftertaste.

Origin: Uji, Kyoto (Japan)

Hot Sencha Tea:

    1. Place 4-5g of leaves into a Kyusu (teapot)
    2. Pour 200ml of 80°C water
    3. Infuse for 90 sec.
    4. Repeat 2-3 times. Adjust brewing parameters according to taste.
    Note: If brewed for multiple guests pour tea little by little in each cup to evenly distribute the flavour. Most of the flavour will be collected at the bottom of the teapot, so the initial pour will be lighter and become stronger towards the end of the pour.

      Cold Brew Sencha:

      1. Place 4-5g of leaves into a large Kyusu or glass bottle.
      2. Pour 500ml of cool water (room temperature or refrigerated water) into the teapot or glass bottle
      3. Place teapot or glass bottle in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours.
      4. Gently shake the brewing vessel before pouring the tea into the cup/glass.

      Flash Chilled Sencha:

      1. Place 4-5g of leaves into a Kyusu (teapot)
      2. Pour 200ml of 80°C water
      3. Infuse for 3 minutes (in this case the infusion time is longer to increase its flavour, as the hot tea will be then poured over ice and be diluted)
      4. Pour hot tea from the Kyusu into a glass/cup filled with ice cubes (alternating the pour if brewed for multiple guests).

      Iced Brew Sencha:

        1. Place 4-5g of leaves into a Kyusu (teapot)
        2. Fill up the Kyusu with ice cubes
        3. Let ice thaw at room temperature
        4. When the ice is fully thawed, pour into teacups (alternating the pour if brewed for multiple guests).
