Decaffeinated Sencha Green Tea #2

Our Decaffeinated Sencha #2 has a bit more of a fruity note than our Sencha #1. This one has a good green tea flavor with slight hints of apricot. Brews to a light coppery liquor and smells delicious. Typical sencha long leaves. Use one teaspoon per cup and steep 1-2 minutes in 180-degree water.

Lori's comments: Decaf Senchas are hard to find, so I'm happy to be able to offer a second choice!

Our decaffeinated teas are naturally decaffeinated using a process that removes caffeine without using chemicals of any sort. The freshly plucked tea leaves are briefly soaked in water and gently flushed with carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2 binds to the caffeine molecules and extracts them from the tea, leaving behind all the natural proteins that give tea its flavor. It also leaves many of the polyphenols and antioxidants intact, so it's still good for you.
