Niji Waves Decorative Tin of Sencha Loose Leaf Green Tea - 50g

Sencha has a wonderful balance of umami, shibumi (normally defined as "astringency"-the Japanese would give the example of the taste of not-sweet persimmon as an example of shibumi), and fragrance. 

For Sencha, water temperature should be about 160 -175 F (70-80 C) and steeped for about 1 to 2 minutes before serving. 

Each container has 50 g of tea leaves 

General serving suggestion: 1 tablespoon of leaves for 1 person, 2 tablespoons for 3 people, 3 tablespoons for 5 people. Add more if you would like more intense aroma. 

If you like a milder aroma and flavor, enjoy at water temperatures below 60 C. If you prefer a stronger aroma and more shibumi (bitterness), enjoy at hotter temperatures. 

Refrigerate after opening. 

Avoid storing in direct sunlight and in high temperature, humid areas 

Comes in a beautiful tin that can be re-used for various purposes.
