A high grade Japanese green tea from Arihara. In order to make green tea, heat is applied to the freshly picked leaves to arrest the oxidation process before it starts. Japanese teas are typically steamed, this makes the flavor more vegetative, buttery and might remind you of seaweed, and pairs great with sushi. Green teas are high in antioxidants and require a cooler water temperature when infusing. We recommend 160-180 f°
