Different from Sencha both ni appearance and taste, tama ryokucha is very unique.  This tea benefits from a specific process that creates a tea similar in appearance to the pan fried teas of China.  It is a high grade green tea that is steamed and fashioned into comma shaped leaves by omitting the final kneading process.  This tea brews a milder, less astringent cup than a traditional sencha.

This tea makes a wonderful iced-tea also!  Use double the tea and pour into a cup of ice, or refridgerate.

Green Tea from Tama region Japan.
