It is virtually March as well as the world is beginning to thaw a little. With Spring peeking excitedly around the corner, our palate are ready to throw off the hefty taste of Wintertime in favor of the lighter tastes of the period. For this round of relative cupping we selected to spotlight three of our Sencha environment-friendly teas. Keep reading to find the distinct taste accounts of our common Sencha, Nishi Sencha 1st Flush, and also Sencha Superior.
What is Sencha?
Sencha is among the most prominent environment-friendly teas created and eaten in Japan. Sencha teas are created from the Camelia sinensis plant, or tea bush, like all other true teas. After plucking, leaves predestined to become Sencha teas are steamed to prevent oxidation, hand-rolled and then dried. The absence of oxidation permits the leaves to maintain their vivid green tone and generally vegetal taste profile, as well as all of the antioxidants all-natural to the tea plant. Though all of our Sencha teas go through similar production, each has an unique individuality.
For vital tea tasting, we suggest referring to the Tea Fragrance Wheel produced by The International Tea Masters Organization.
Sencha
Our standard Sencha features vivid eco-friendly leaves rolled thoroughly in the traditional manner. This tea steeps a light yellow liquor (tea liquid) which offers a clearly vegetal fragrance solidified by mild marine notes. The flavor account of this Sencha is evocative edamame with small mineral undernotes. This tea is also defined by a light astringency with a mouthfeel that remains.
Nishi Sencha 1st Flush
The ideal candidate for your Springtime cleanse, this Sencha features leaves plucked during the first harvest of the season. Emerald eco-friendly leaves steep a medium-bodied, gently gold alcohol (tea liquid) that effuses a sweet, fresh fragrance. Nishi Sencha 1st Flush flaunts a milder account than various other Senchas, including light umami and vegetal notes similar to environment-friendly beans. This mixture is defined by a smooth aftertaste and also mild sticking around mouthfeel. As Nishi leaves are younger than other Senchas, this tea must be steeped at a somewhat lower temperature level to avoid scalding.

Sencha Superior
Our Sencha Superior tea is a gently steamed Asamushi Sencha agent of the origianal Japanese varietal. This tea soaks a dark goldenrod mixture with a scent of fresh cut turf that is deeper and also much more full-bodied than that of the Nishi. Sencha Superior features a pronounced grassy flavor as well as light acidity which leads to a remaining mouthfeel. We enjoy this tea as a fantastic choice for bold taste when we do not desire the higher high levels of caffeine of a black tea.
