Description

This Green Tea is the most popular and well known variety from Japan. The large green leaves are first steam treated, and then hot air dried and finally pan fried in order to produce a refreshing, delicate and yet sharp aromatic flavour. The loose green leaves provide a fresh scent and a light, pale greenish-yellow cup, which makes for a tea that can be enjoyed daily.
