This light and refreshing Japanese Sencha tea is prepared in Kyoto from the season's first tender young leaves, harvested at their peak of flavour in late Spring. The leaves are briefly steamed, rolled and cooled by the special "Japanese Sencha" process. The traditional Japanese practice, not usually found elsewhere, of steaming green tea leaves immediately after picking, preserves their unique properties. This steaming, sometimes referred to as the "Sencha Process", takes place within 24 hours of harvesting and inhibits the enzyme activity that causes oxidisation, enabling the tea to retain its bright emerald green leaf colour and preserving its nutritional properties. Our new Teabags range is non-GM and in 100% sustainable packaging. The teabags are stitched together using a unique folding process and are staple free. The strings are made of 100% organic cotton and the outer carton is recyclable and printed using vegetable-based ink.100% compostable tea bagsRecyclable tea envelopes and cartonsPrinted with vegetable based ink100% organic and veganTea leaves grown in Japan
