Sencha Gold

The famous Japanese green, sencha. A deep, dark green leaved tea that produces a rich, bright green liquor. A freshness beyond freshness is produced in taste, colour and smell. The wet leaves carry the notes of a fresh herb garden on a spring day. The flavour notes are herbaceous, grassy, and fresh, with a gentle and slow energy release, making it a great accompaniment when at work or as tea break pick-me-up. Sencha also pairs well with foods such as sushi, rice dishes and dumplings.

4-6 grams of tea using 80 degree water, suitable for gong fu brewing and in larger pots.

Brew for 25 seconds gong fu style, up to 4 times, adding 15 seconds to each brew thereafter.

Brew up to 2 times in a larger pot of around 350ml or up to 4 times in a kyuzu.

Please note you can experiment with this according to your own taste.
