Detailed Description
7.5% tariff on China teas will be applied at checkout on this tea (shown as the tax amount).

This green tea from China is similar in style to a Japanese green Sencha. The slender dark green leaves have a fresh, vegetal aroma and produce a delicate green cup, which is sweet and slightly earthy in taste. Delicious when iced!

Brew China Green Sencha tea at 180º - steep for 2 minutes.


Green Tea-Lemon Basil Dressing
Recipe from Culinary Tea by Cynthia Gold & Lise Stern

1 cup steaming water
1 Tbsp loose leaf green tea leaves
1 Tbsp grated lemon zest
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
¼ cup olive oil
1 Tbsp Asian chili sauce
1 cup chopped fresh basil
4 garlic cloves
¼ tsp fine sea salt
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp honey

Pour steaming water over the tea leaves in a small bowl. Steep, covered, for 2 minutes, then strain, discarding the leaves. Let cool to room temperature, about 15 to 20 minutes.

In a blender or food processor, combine the tea with the remaining ingredients; puree until smooth. Store in an airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 1 week. If dressing separates, whisk or blend again briefly.

This dressing works well on a green salad, as a dip for raw vegetables, or as a cold sauce for poached salmon, shrimp or other seafood.

Delicious! 5/6/2018
A delicious and economic choice! Not too strong, as to be expected from a sencha, but surprisingly not smooth, has a slightly acrid aftertaste like a black tea, so not as light on the tongue as a typical green. Not too sweet, great for resteaping.

China Sencha Green 4/13/2017
I liked this tea. It has a green taste which I appreciate in a green tea. In fact I preferred to a much more expensive green tea.

Delicious 1/5/2016
Probably underappreciated because of its economical price point, Simpson & Vails China Sencha is a lovely green tea. It lacks the astringent nature of many greens, and the dry leaves smell so good youd almost think you could eat them.
