sencha
(2 reviews)Shizuoka, located in the center of Japan, is an ideal tea growing region with an average annual temperature of 60°F (15°C). With the exception of the northern mountainous region, the prefecture has a mild maritime climate and snow is rare on the plains. Teas from the prefecture will vary in taste based upon the season of the year, elevation, and method of steaming the leaves. This organic sencha tea makes a jade-colored brew with a bright, grassy, and oceanic aroma, and a smooth, mildly sweet taste.
