This type of green tea from Japan is of the highest quality as regards the content of polyphenols.
Growing environment, harvest time and preparation method are decisive for the content and preservation of the polyphenols, e.g. the catechins including EGCG = Epi-Gallo-Catechin-Gallat, which is most powerful antioxidant. 
Sen-(cha = tea) indicates the gentle preparation of the leaves, taking place by means of steaming and roller drying, whereby the valuable contents and antioxidants are preserved in the best possible way.
Temperature and infusion time for a cup of tea influences the taste and preservation of the catechins.

A little, handy and decorative tea thermometer designed in wood.
For a tea drinker who wants the best prepared cup of tea, a thermometer is indispensable.

The temperature of the tea water is important since it determines which substances are released and how fast, and this also influences the taste. Some substances are destructed if the temperature is too high, while other substances should have boiling water. This means that the optimal water temperature depends on the type of tea.
Please note! The tea water should boil first and then cool off until the desired temperature is obtained.
