Le Rendez-Vous Du Thé Verified independent store

With its lovely pale green liquor, Sencha Kakagawa offers a fresh, crisp cup, its grassy notes balanced between sweetness, umami and a discreet astringency, through to an impeccabl y clean finish. This is the very taste of Japanese green tea: bracing in the morning, thirst-quenching in the afternoon, elegant always. Its leaves are steamed, rolled and dried following the method developed in seventeenth-century Japan by Nagatani Soen, whose steaming technique preserves the brilliant green colour and fresh taste, and made sencha the most consumed tea in Japan. Hand-packed in Montreal, this approachable, refined sencha is a superb gateway to Japanese green teas. Show more
