Ginger Sencha Green Tea
Flavored Green Tea

The dominant spiciness of ginger and the defying subtleness, contributed by light Bancha, almost take it an every day. Pure straight and distinct - thats how this ginger tea tastes like. Ingredients: green tea, ginger, black pepper, flavoring.

Green tea is unfermented tea. One differentiates between two procedures: the steamed tea, mainly employed in Japan, and the panfired tea used in China where leaves are roasted in pans. The steamed tea is treated with hot water steam. For the roasted tea, the freshly plucked leaves are dried for approximately 2 hours on bamboo sieves and, subsequently, briefly roasted in wok-like, wood-buring pans. Due to this brief heating, the fermentation is prevented. After this withering process, the leaves are formed (e.g. rolled such as the Ping Sui Zhucha), died further (such as the Bai Mu Dan) or roasted (e.g. Lung Ching). Often, however, the leaves are put into a large rotating drum where they are dried with the help of a heat stream of about 90°C and loose a large amount of their weight. The withering process is of utmost importance for the future aroma of the tea. Depending on the tea variety and the tradition, the withering and roasting is perhaps repeated a few times until the leaves are dried. Later, the tea is sorted via sieves or, such as the premium teas from China, via hand.
