Steamed Green Tea (Sencha Style) — for Japan, Korea & EU Buyers
Our steamed green tea is fixed by steam (蒸青) instead of pan-firing, preserving a deep green color, seaweed-fresh aroma and low bitterness — the profile demanded by Japanese, Korean and European buyers. Produced under strict pesticide-residue control compatible with the Japan Positive List and EU MRL.
