Product Overview
To fully extract the sweet soluble components of tea leaves, it’s essential to use the correct water temperature, ideally between 165ºF and 175ºF. Using excessively high temperatures can result in an overabundance of bitter and astringent flavors in your cup.
When it comes to green teas, they quickly release their soluble components, requiring only an infusion of 1 to 2 minutes for optimal flavor. A mere additional 30 seconds of steeping can transform a Sencha from perfectly delightful to undrinkably bitter.

Origin and Quality
Pantenger Sencha Green Tea Bags are harvested during the “First Flush of Spring,” known as Icheban, which is the initial collection of the season. This harvest yields leaves rich in compounds, making Icheban teas highly sought after for their exceptional quality.
Flavor Profile of Sencha
The flavor and aroma of Sencha are vegetable-based, resembling sautéed spinach or roasted seaweed, evoking the freshness of a sea breeze. Its aftertaste is pleasantly sweet and refreshing for a green tea, creating a complex, full-bodied experience. The leaves are needle-like and emerald green, while the brewed liquor exhibits an intense yellowish-green hue. A slight cloudiness indicates the high quality of this Japanese tea, which clears after settling for a few moments.
Cultivation Practices
Pantenger Sencha is shaded for two weeks prior to harvesting, a technique that enhances amino acid levels, resulting in a mellower and less astringent tea. Sourced from Kagoshima on Kyushu, Japan's southernmost island, Pantenger Organic Sencha First Flush is cultivated in a region renowned as the Organic Capital of Japan, ensuring a product free from any contamination, including radiation.
For those who appreciate a fine cup of tea, Pantenger offers a selection that caters to diverse tastes, each supported by quality cultivation methods and positive customer feedback.
