Japan Sencha Makoto – Green Tea
Tea appeared in Japan in the 9th century. Buddhist monks, who brought it over from China, spread the legend of Emperor Shen Nung: As he was boiling water over a fire one day, the wind blew a few tea leaves into it. The emperor was captivated by their scent and tried the leafy water. It was amazing! Refreshing, invigorating and delicious. Try the tea that grows in Japan nowadays.

Ingredients
100 % Green tea Sencha MakotoBrew & Taste
Sencha Makoto is a very pleasant green tea with emerald leaves. It has a slightly spicy taste with a hint of sweet pie and some bitterness. A cool, coastal aroma can also leave a sweet trace after a few sips. The brew is light green to almost yellow-green in color, clear and opalescent.
This Japanese green tea is perfect for making iced tea. Try pouring lukewarm tea into a glass filled to 2/3 with ice cubes. You'll get a deliciously refreshing drink.
Origins
One of Japan's most important tea gardens lies beneath Mount Fujiyama in the Shizuoka region. It is from here that we bring you Sencha Makoto. The high-quality leaves, up to 2cm in length, come from verified farmers who pay the utmost attention to cultivation and hygiene standards. Camelia sinensis tea plants grow in gardens on hillsides and slopes. The first harvest takes place in mid-April. The top one or two leaves from each branch are placed in large bamboo baskets. Harvesting is manual, almost always done by women. Plucking begins just after sunrise to prevent dew from falling on the bushes. Too much moisture in the leaves could cause them to overheat, which would destroy the plant tissues and adversely affect the quality of the Sencha. The leaves are left to wilt in the shade and then briefly steamed. The rolling and drying is already done by machine in a rotary dryer. After the final rolling, the leaves have the shape of fine needles and are ready for sorting and packaging.
