"High quality green leaves from the first and younger growths of the season. At once mildly stimulating and soothing, Sencha has long been used by Zen monks to promote mental clarity and calmness during prolonged meditations. Clearspring Organic Sencha green tea has the light, refreshing and slightly bittersweet taste of fresh picked leaves. It is prepared at Nagata Chaen, Kyoto, from the season's first tender young leaves harvested at their peak of flavour in late spring. The leaves are briefly steamed, rolled and cooled, by the special Japanese sencha process, and then immediately packed to seal in their fresh taste and aroma. Enjoy the exquisite taste of Clearspring Organic Sencha. "
