Green tea Shu Xiang Lui (Chinese Sencha)

Shu Xiang Lui (书香绿), also known as Chinese Sencha, is a green tea made in the style of Japanese Sencha, but with Chinese ingredients and traditions. It is made using spring young leaves, which are steamed (as in Japan) to preserve their freshness, bright green color, and delicate flavor.

The taste of Shu Xiang Lui is rich, fresh, with light herbal, marine and nutty notes, and a delicate sweetness in the aftertaste. The aroma is clean, spring-like, with a light "umami" profile typical of senchi. The infusion is bright green, refreshing, and thick to the touch.
