{"product_id":"chinese-sencha-green-tea","title":"ARIEL Chinese Sencha","description":"\u003cp\u003eChinese Sencha is an everyday green tea in the best sense: fresh, clean, and easy to reach for at any hour. The leaves are pan-fired soon after plucking – a traditional Chinese way of locking in their bright, grassy character before it can fade – for a light, refreshing cup without the heaviness some green teas carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cup pours a clear, pale gold and drinks smooth and mellow. There's a fresh, vegetal green-tea character up front – cut grass with a hint of toasted warmth from the pan-firing – and a soft, gently sweet finish. It's light-bodied and clean, with only the faintest edge, so it stays refreshing cup after cup. Good hot, and just as pleasant cooled down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Chinese Method\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen tea stays green because oxidation is stopped early. In China, that's traditionally done by firing the freshly picked leaves in a hot pan – a hands-on step that halts oxidation and sets the tea's fresh, grassy tone. It's what keeps this cup bright and clean rather than deep and malty like a black tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrewing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat fresh water to 90 °C, just off the boil, and steep 2.5 g (about one teaspoon) for 2 minutes. Green tea turns bitter when it's brewed too hot or too long, so keep both in check; the same leaves give a good second steep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whole leaf green tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormats:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 g loose leaf, 1 kg loose leaf, 60 tea bags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kosher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoundation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Humaniterra Foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TERRA COFFEE AND TEA LTD","offers":[{"title":"90 g loose leaf","offer_id":40894660018351,"sku":"TARIO03VTCN11PF01","price":14.8,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg loose leaf","offer_id":40894660051119,"sku":"TARIORIVTCN11F001","price":117.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60 bags","offer_id":47129932529904,"sku":"TARIO01VTCN11S060","price":34.1,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/3321\/9503\/files\/The_Vert_Sencha_Chinois_en_feuilles_90g_066166002531.jpg?v=1763058947","url":"https:\/\/cafeterra.ca\/products\/chinese-sencha-green-tea","provider":"Terra Café et Thé Ltée","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
