Uji Sencha

Enjoyed by hardened samurai, haiku poets, and hairless monks alike. A traditional Japanese steamed green tea with tightly rolled needle-shaped leaves. Its an early spring pick with a bright color, a clean finish, and a taste reminiscent of a fresh sea breeze. Ours comes from Uji, close to Kyoto, the most famous tea region in Japan. Sencha is stronger than most Chinese style green teas. It goes well with seafood. It is brilliant with chocolate. Steep briefly at water temperature between 160 and 170. Good for several infusions.
