Description
Green Sencha Kyushu De-caffeine
Introducing Green Sencha Kyushu De-caffeine, a meticulously crafted tea that offers the delightful taste of traditional Japanese Sencha without caffeine. Our supplier rigorously inspects each batch to ensure it meets Canadian quality standards. Using the CO2 decaffeination process, we guarantee that no chemical solvents compromise the integrity of the tea. This method employs naturally occurring CO2 under high pressure and temperature to extract caffeine while preserving the tea’s distinct character.
The Art of Brewing
An old Chinese saying highlights the essential role of tea in daily life, stating that seven matters are crucial for a family’s well-being: firewood, ice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea. In traditional villages, people brew tea following a careful ritual. They fill a clay teapot one-third with tea leaves and heat fresh spring water to about 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, they pour the water over the leaves and immediately discard it, washing the leaves and initiating the opening process. After this, they refill the pot and allow the tea to steep for 3-5 minutes.
After brewing, they pour the tea into small porcelain cups and add more hot water to the pot for subsequent servings. This ritual remains prevalent in the countryside of China, where tea aficionados treat their beverage with the utmost respect. To protect their tea from air, light, heat, and humidity, they store it in airtight tins or opaque ceramic containers.
Freshness Matters
Green tea, particularly Sencha, tastes best when fresh. Using the leaves shortly after opening ensures that they retain their vibrant flavours and health benefits. Green Sencha Kyushu De-caffeine allows you to enjoy a comforting cup of tea at any time of day while avoiding caffeine. Experience the smooth, grassy notes and refreshing character that make this tea a beloved choice among enthusiasts. Embrace the tradition and savour the calming experience of this exceptional decaffeinated green tea!
HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Ideal Brewing Temperature: 100ºC/212ºF
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the tea. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher, straining the tea. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about.)
(Individual Serving): Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the tea. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the tea. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Sweeten and/or add lemon to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced tea is to increase the strength of hot tea since it will be poured over ice and diluted. (Note: Some luxury quality teas may turn cloudy when poured over ice. This is a sign of luxury quality and nothing to worry about!)
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
