Sencha

This Japanese tea is enhanced by covering the leaves with blankets as they grow, in order to slow growth and pull up more nutrients from the soil. The leaves produce a rich dark green liquor with a full vegetal, slightly toasty flavour.

Making Notes:

Use 1 tbsp of tea per 250ml of water. Brew with freshly boiled water cooled for 2 minutes to between 70-80°C. Steep for between 45 seconds and 1.5 minutes, depending on your taste.
