Sencha Special ORGANIC
Sencha is frequently consumed warm and at all hours of the day. With moderate to low levels of caffeine, it can provide a nice boost without keeping you up at night. With a vibrant green color and fresh flavor, it also makes a refreshing iced tea. Sencha teas prefer a lower brewing temperature than usual for a smooth taste. Infusing for too long and/or at too high of a temperature can give sencha tea a bitter flavor, overshadowing its fresh qualities.
