Green Tea

What is green tea?ย Oxidation is the natural chemical process that occurs after vegetable matter is picked. The leaves begin to oxidize immediately after harvesting and to stop the oxidation process, green tea leaves are steamed or baked, thus retaining their green color. Green tea is one of the healthiest beverages you can drink and is very high in antioxidants.

Organic Sencha Asamushi
Green Tea

The defining factor of an Asamushi style Sencha is it's light, quick steaming. Because the steaming is so short (20-40 seconds) it's imperative to use only the highest quality tea leaves as any unwanted traits can easily remain present in the finished product. We're proud to present a beautiful Sencha Asamushi, made with only the highest quality organic spring and early summer leaves.
