【Japanese Otsuka Sencha – Classic Flavours from Shizuoka】“Otsuka Seicha” from Shizuoka, an award-winning tea brand, has been producing green tea using the “deeply steamed tea” manufacturing method for more than 60 years.Otsuka Super Sencha (Deep Steamed) Leaf Premium leaves steamed long to keep nutrients and rich flavour. The taste becomes mellow because tea leaves are steamed long. Tea liquor is bright green, full-bodied and sweet. Enjoy hot or cold to savour authentic Japanese tea.In the first stage of production, freshly picked tea leaves are steamed. Depending on the steaming time, the tea is classified as light-steamed tea, regular-steamed tea, or deep-steamed tea. Deep-steamed tea is steamed for about 120 seconds, roughly twice as long as regular-steamed tea, allowing it to be carefully processed. The longer steaming time makes the leaves appear finer, but it helps release the tea’s compounds more easily, producing a rich, mellow sweetness.How to Serve Fragrant Green Tea:Boil water fully and cool the hot water a little.Put the adequate amount of tea leaves and the adjusted water enough to cover the leaves into the pot (in general, use about 2 or 3 tablespoons of tea leaves for 3 persons).Steep for proper time. Then pour the tea a little into each cup by turns to assure the quality of the tea is equal in all the cups. Drain the pot completely to enjoy the second steeping. Please be careful not to scald with hot water.Ingredients: Japanese Green Tea Product of Japan
