Detailed Product Description

Sencha literally means "roasted tea", however, the process by which sencha is created differs from Chinese green teas, which are initially pan-fired (and could probably therefore more accurately be called "roasted" teas). Japanese green tea is first steamed for between 1545 seconds to prevent oxidization of the leaves. Then, the leaves are rolled, shaped, and dried. This step creates the customary thin cylindrical shape of the tea. Finally, after drying, the leaves are fired to aid in their preservation and to add flavor.

About the bag:

Made from a gossamer mesh, the shape  pyramid tea bags provide ample room for hot water to infuse the tea, better extracting its rich color and flavour. Because they're bonded with heat, our bags leaves nothing to stand in the way of delicate tea taste. Pyramid bags offer the best of both worlds - the full flavor of loose tea paired with the convenience of a bag. Experience the difference in every sip.
