Sencha Kanoya Organic Green Tea comes from young tea bushes of the Yabukita cultivar in Kagoshima. This particular sencha is planted in about 70% of all tea plantations in Japan, as it is well-rooted, cold-resistant and, of course, has excellent taste. The aroma and taste are very full, with dominant notes of seaweed, freshly cut grass, fresh flowers, fruit (strawberries) and a light salty taste.
Place of origin
Kagoshima, Japan
Infusion method
Place 3 grams (about three teaspoons) in a Japanese teapot of the Kyusu type or, in the absence of the latter, in a teapot possibly with a wide and flat bottom.
Pour 200 ml of water at a temperature of 70°C over the leaves and after 1 and a half minutes filter and serve the tea in cups. To make the most of the leaves and continue the taste experience with this tea, we recommend making 3 more infusions using the same leaves with the same quantity and temperature parameters, but extending the infusion time by 5-10 seconds.
The tea can be filtered for greater ease when tasting it and the infusion times indicated above are also purely indicative so you can also adjust it based on your personal taste.
Since we are talking about Japanese green tea, let’s remember that it is also possible to make a delicious infusion in cold water before proceeding with hot water. For the latter we recommend, with the same grams of leaves per quantity of water, an infusion time of around 10 minutes.
It is recommended to store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
