Steamed Leaf Sencha (2oz loose leaf)

Steamed Leafy Sencha (2oz loose leaf)

This unique green tea is refreshingly mellow and pure cup with floral hints and a lightly lingering astringency.

The world of tea is an ever-changing one, with new leaf styles, farming methods and production techniques emerging year by year. This steamed Japanese style tea is one such development.

Grown India's Travencore district down at the very bottom of the Indian subcontinent, this distinctive green tea is produced using Japanese machinery, imported to India specifically for the purpose of applying Japanese technique to Indian-grown teas. As you'll soon discover, there are a few factors that make this a development worth celebrating.

For starters, the leaf used to produce this Steamed Leafy Sencha is grown at between 2-3 times the altitude of that grown in Japan. The altitude imbues the leaf with elevated levels of antioxidants - higher than what you'll find in Japanese teas. Another interesting point of note is the shape and look of the finished leaf. Unlike traditional Senchas with their flattened, glossy leaves, the Indian produced version here, remains in a leafier, orthodox-like state that when brewed, produces a pleasantly vegetative character suitable for all-day sipping.

Brew a pot today and see for yourself just how special this distinctive brew truly is. We're sure you'll agree, this is one tea innovation worth celebrating.
