CREATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PURITY IN FOOD Eden Organic Sencha Green Tea — Uji Japanese, 3-Pack (16 Unbleached Manila Tea Bags), S

Eden Organic Sencha Green Tea is a spring-harvested Japanese sencha from Uji, delivered in unbleached manila tea bags for a pure, fresh cup.

Carefully grown on the Nagata cooperative's historic Uji plantation, this organic sencha captures the bright, leafy aroma of early-spring tea. Leaves are handpicked, immediately steamed to halt oxidation, and gently rolled to lock in the vivid green color and natural antioxidants. Packaged without bleached paper, plastics, or added flavors, each tea bag aims to reflect traditional Japanese handling and organic stewardship.

What makes Eden Organic Sencha different from other green teas?

Eden Organic Sencha is sourced from the first flush spring leaves near Uji, a region renowned for its superior tea. The combination of shading of new growth, prompt steaming, and careful drying preserves a fresh, grassy profile and a high concentration of naturally occurring polyphenols. The product avoids synthetic inputs and unnecessary processing at every stage.

• Handpicked early-spring leaves from Nagata Co-op in Uji, Japan
• Immediate steaming and gentle rolling to prevent oxidation
• Strict organic cultivation and traditional post-harvest handling
• No added flavors, dyes, plastics, or bleached materials

How should I brew Eden Organic Sencha for best flavor?

To enjoy sencha's delicate, vegetal notes, use water below boiling and a short steep time. Cooler water brings out subtle sweetness and reduces bitterness, while a brief infusion preserves the tea's bright color and aroma. Adjust steeping slightly to match personal taste.

• Water temperature: 70–80°C (158–176°F)
• Steep time: 45–90 seconds for a clear, balanced cup
• Use 1 tea bag per 8–10 oz (240–300 ml) of water
• Second infusion: gentle second steep for 30–60 seconds if desired

Why are unbleached manila tea bags important?

Unbleached manila fiber avoids chlorine bleaching and plastic heat seals that can affect flavor or introduce unwanted residues. Eden packages each bag with a crimped seal and 100% cotton string to keep the tea intact without synthetic elements. The result is a cleaner presentation and a cup that more faithfully reflects the leaf quality.

• Unbleached manila fiber prevents chemical whitening
• No plastic heat-seals—crimped closure protects freshness
• Natural cotton string for compostability and traditional feel
• Zero added flavors, colors, or artificial treatments

How does the origin affect the taste of this sencha?

Uji's terroir, seasonal climate, and long-standing cultivation practices influence sencha's subtle flavor layers. Soil composition and early-spring shading produce leaves with a gentle umami and fresh vegetal character rather than heavy bitterness. The Nagata co-op's traditional methods further refine the tea's balance and clarity.

• Uji region soil and microclimate impart distinctive leafy notes
• Spring harvest yields tender, aromatic first-flush leaves
• Shading of new shoots concentrates flavor and aroma
• Traditional handling maintains brightness and mouthfeel
