Sencha Superior is an asamushi sencha made from the predominant Yabukita cultivar in Japan, yielding what many define as the classical character of lively fresh flavor that represents the original Japanese sencha taste profile. Developed in the 18th century, the process of making sencha has evolved into the art and science of preserving fresh green flavor. The light asamushi style steaming preserves this tea's varietal character and yields a clear, golden-green infusion. Fresh and savory, with pleasant grassy notes and a crisp finish.
