Imperial Sencha

Description

Imperial Sencha is a hand picked high quality green tea leaf, a popular fine Sencha in Japan. It has a fresh grassy flavour and perfect for everyday tea consumption. The ideal colour of the sencha is a greenish golden colour. Depending upon the temperature of the water, the flavour will be different. With relatively more temperate water, it is relatively mellow; with hot water, it is more astringent.

Enjoyed at any time of the day with a meal or just as a beverage to sooth the sense. It is a great drink to maintain good health through its natural mineral and vitamin content.
