Japanese Sencha Green Tea (1/2 Lb Bag)

Considered one of the finest teas available, this traditional tea is used in ceremonial tastings. The tightly rolled leaves are steamed to prevent fermentation. Once steeped, the brew is greenish-yellow with a vegetal seaweed or grass-like flavor. It is perfectly balanced between sweet and astringent. For a delicious cup, steep one teaspoon in six ounces of 170 degree water for one to two minutes.
