Matcha Karigane Sencha

Description Green Tea (Loose Leaf) With Stems Matcha Karigane Sencha is similar to Kukicha (Green Tea Stems) except that more tea leaf remains on each stem instead of very little for Kukicha. It offers a full-bodied, well-rounded tasting liquid with a little more astringency than Kukicha. The complex taste begs the drinker to imbibe more. The second steeping results in a very pleasant mellow taste without any bitterness and with a lovely aroma. Two Sizes Available: 100 grams (3.5 ounces) Makes approximately 45 to 50 servings of tea 500 grams (1 pound 2 ounces)  Makes approximately 225 to 250 servings of tea Brewing Suggestions: First Infusion: Add 1 gram of tea per 100 ml of freshwater, or about one tablespoon per potful.

Please note that the caffeine content of green tea becomes significantly less after the first steeping. N
