Authentic organic Japanese KEIKO green tea 'Sencha' (loose) from the summer harvest. Ingredients: organic green tea 'Sencha'. Pleasantly subtle astringent flavor. Refreshing. Brewed tea is light green. Behind the name KEIKO hides a group of unusual delicate teas, each with a completely different flavor and aroma – just like the timing of leaf picking. KEIKO teas are grown in an organic farm in the Kagoshima region, in southern Japan. Tea can be grown in the shade or sunlight. When grown in partial shade, under special nets (in Japanese 'Kabuse'), the conditions become very similar to those in which wild tea bushes grow. 'Kabusecha' is extremely rich in extracts, exceptionally green, and takes on a sweeter flavor. KEIKO teas are processed in a special way that allows the tea leaves to reveal their best qualities and protects them from oxidation. Immediately after harvesting, the tea leaves are steamed, cooled, rolled, and dried. The impermeable bags keep the active ingredients and the fresh tea aroma until the moment you enjoy it. The caffeine content in one serving of tea (2 g of powder/100 ml of water) is 20 mg, which is significantly less than in Matcha tea (64 mg) and coffee (80 mg). Preparation: brew with water no hotter than 65-70ºC (can be reused up to 3 times). One level teaspoon of tea leaves for one cup (about 150 ml) of water. Steep the first brew for 40 seconds and fully pour out from the teapot – the tea is ready to enjoy! Steep the second brew for 15 s, and the third for 30 s. Each time, the tea must be fully poured from the tea leaves. It is best to drink all three cups of tea without long breaks between brews. Packaged in a controlled environment. Keep the opened package tightly sealed in the refrigerator. The tea retains its best properties for at least one month after opening the package.
