Harvest:

🌿 Sencha leaves are hand-picked during early spring to ensure the best balance of freshness and flavor.

Processing:

🌿 The result is a harmonious blend of fresh, crisp green tea and vibrant yuzu citrus.

Brewing Guide

🌿 Water temperature: 175–180°F (80–82°C)
🌿 Steep time: 1.5–2 minutes
🌿 Tea quantity: 1 -2 teaspoons (2 – 3g) per 220ml water
🌿 Cold Brew: Steep 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of loose leaf tea (or 2–3 tea bags) in 1 liter of cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours, then strain and serve over ice.
