Ingredients: Organically grown green tea leaves
Product weight: 20 bags (36g)
This light and refreshing tea is prepared in 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.
How Clearspring Organic Japanese Sencha Green Tea is made
The traditional Japanese practice, not usually found elsewhere, of steaming green tea leaves immediately after picking, preserves their unique properties. This steaming, sometimes referred to as the "Sencha Process", takes place within 24 hours of harvesting and inhibits the enzyme activity that causes oxidisation, enabling the tea to retain its bright emerald green leaf colour and preserving its nutritional properties.

Third Generation Tea Family from Kyoto, Japan
In the hills around Kyoto, the third generation of the Nagata family use special organic methods, known as Nature Farming, to produce a range of exquisite green teas for Clearspring.
The ancient farming approach used by the Nagatas builds up soil vitality by maintaining a semi-wild environment, where the plants are not overly protected and gain nourishment from repeated applications of compost made from tea clippings and dried leaves, which together with regular mulching helps control weed growth and maintain soil moisture.
Whilst most tea farmers spray their plants with pesticides and herbicides 15-20 times a year, the Nagatas' tea bushes have a vigour that enables them to thrive without chemical inputs.
The Nagatas' yields may be lower than average but their plants have far less mould and blight. They remain productive for up to 40 years, twice as long as the typical tea bush treated with chemicals.
As well as growing tea, the Nagatas undertake the skilful blanching, drying and roasting processes to bring out the unique flavours of each individual blend.
