Grüner Sencha Heritage, loser Blatttee

I steeped these leaves for just two minutes and the liquor came out that brilliant jade color you expect from a proper sencha. The flat leaves unfurl beautifully and the taste is clean and grassy without any bitterness.

I’ve brewed a lot of greens, but this one holds its grassy sweetness even after the tea cools—that traditional steaming really locks in something delicate. The leaves stay dark and flat, and one steeping treats you to a smooth, savory finish that’s hard to put down.

The flat leaves brew up a deep, vivid green that honestly looks as fresh as the spring harvest, and the taste stays delicate without any bitterness creeping in. I've been reaching for this every afternoon since it arrived.
