Light Steamed Organic Green Tea, Loose Leaf (AsamushiCha)
Out of Stock - Recommended Substitution: Light Steamed Yabukita Sencha
The first steeping of Light Steamed Organic Sencha offers a full-bodied, but not strong, flavorful green tea. It has medium astringency without being bitter and a slightly grassy taste. As the liquid cools the astringency lessens considerably and the flavor becomes mild. The second brew yields a very pleasant and mild sweetness and earthiness. Those who enjoy a little bolder tasting Japanese green tea will be pleased. Light Steamed Organic Sencha has been produced according to the strict guidelines of the JAS (Japan Agricultural Standard) and is certified organic.

Brewing Suggestions:
First Infusion: Add 1 gram of tea per 100 ml of fresh water, or about one tablespoon per potful. Heat the water to 80C (180F) and brew for one minute.
Second Infusion: Brew with the same temperature water as the first infusion but for only a few seconds. Please note that the caffeine content of green tea becomes significantly less after the first steeping.
