Description

This Japanese green tea is a hit! The Otsuka family, who supply several Japanese green teas to us, did a great job with this Sencha. Sencha Scent of Mountains originates from Kawane, the highest tea region within the vast Shizuoka tea region. Although not as high as Darjeeling or Uva, it is high for Japanese tea gardens. The cooler air contributes to the delightful aroma. The body of this Sencha is lighter than other Senchas due to its lack of deep steaming. People love the delicious light vegetal taste and distinctive aromas. This brew remains one of the most popular teas at our SoHo flagship store.

 Details: A high-mountain steamed green tea from the Japanese Alps.
 Dry Leaves: The leaves are medium in size, maybe a quarter of an inch with some even smaller. The tea is forest green with some lighter stalks included. The tea is between a regular steamed tea and a deep steamed tea, and this accounts for the size of the leaves.
 Liquor: The liquor is light and clear.
 Aroma: A lovely vegetal aroma.
 Flavors: The vegetal spinach flavor comes through clearly and strongly.
 Caffeine Level: Caffeinated
 Body: Light-bodied
 Brewing Time: 3 minutes
 Brewing Temp: 175º
