Sencha green teas typically have dark green, needle shaped leaves and produce a pale green to yellow, very bright, smooth cup with a sweetish, honey like finish. This Mandarin Orange Splash Green tea has a slight natural sweetness and is very well blended with our natural orange flavorings. As an extra touch we’ve also added tiny safflower petals to enhance the visual appeal of this blend. This tea is also fabulous over ice. Hot tea brewing method: When preparing by the cup, this tea can be used repeatedly - about 3 times. The secret is to use water that is about 180°F or 90°C.
