Sencha (Decaffeinated)

Sencha tea originated in China but quickly gained popularity in Japan. This Japanese Sencha Akaike is made from leaves grown under sunlight and steamed instead of pan-fired, resulting in flat, shiny leaves with earthy notes. Sencha is a true tea drinker’s tea and must be steeped to perfection.
