This Sencha is grown by our long-time tea supplier, Hoshino Seichaen, located on Kyushu Island in southern Japan. The leaves are steamed and dried in several stages, producing a soft and full-bodied tea with notes of grass and seaweed. Sencha Midori is from a single cultivar called Yabukita.
What characterises a fine quality sencha is a dark green fine leaf.
Bright, clear, fresh flavour.
Sencha Midori comes in a 100g bag, pre-packaged in Japan to preserve freshness.
Ingredients: green tea.
Sencha Midori preparation
Sencha Midori is brewed in a small preheated pot, or a glass jug, so you can see the beautiful colour.
Do not boil the water for a long time, as you boil the oxygen out of the water.
Use 1 tsp. tea with top per cup.
The leaves are poured with about 80 degrees hot water and you get the finest flavour if the leaves float freely in a spacious strainer or freely in a small pitcher. After about 1 minute, you can start to see the "umami cloud" in the tea. This is what gives the sweetness and umami, which also produces the "cloud" of delicate and natural flavours in the tea.
Pull time:
1st brew: 2 minutes
2nd + 3rd brew: 30-40 seconds.
The leaves can be used 2 - 3 times.
By small pot we mean Japanese kyusu teapot with internal strainer or HARIO glass teapot. The advantage of the small pot is that you brew 2-3 cups at a time and then add more tempered water when you're ready for the next cup. This allows you to utilise the potential of the leaves by brewing several times, and you get the experience of a fresh cup of tea.
The tea should be stored in a cool place, preferably in the refrigerator.
