Our decaf Sen Cha style green tea was grown and produced in China's Hunan Province. The exceptional leaf is decaffeinated using a patented Canadian Chemical Free CO2 process. During the process, naturally occurring CO2 is circulated under high pressure to extract caffeine. Not only is this process completely chemical free and kind to the environment, it leaves none of the chemical flavor residue associated with chemically decaffeinated teas. The light, fresh taste of this tea makes it a natural for blending with dried fruits, herbs and spices for cooking. Try chopping the tea leaves and combining with spices and use the mixture to coat chicken or steak before cooking. Or, substitute a cup of Decaf Sen Cha tea for a cup of broth in vegetable-based soups. You can also throw steeped chopped leaves into soup while it simmers to add extra greens. Add a few tablespoons to a marinade for fish or shellfish. Sencha balances out sweeter varieties, like halibut or scallops. Sen Cha can also be used in baking. After mixing the dough or batter for cookies, muffins, or scones, fold two tablespoons of dried Sen Cha tea leaves directly into it, then bake as usual. Sen Cha pairs beautifully with Cranberry Orange Bread, Cream cheese, Seafood Paella, Salmon and most Asian foods. Ingredients: Artisan green tea Origin: Hunan, China
