Our teas are now in sustainable pyramid tea bags—10 per box. Australian-grown green tea is Victorian and grown in a high country with just the right amount of sun and rain! Its grown and dried using the traditional Japanese methods to create a unique and beautiful tea, the perfect brew for any tea lover. This beautiful Australian-grown green tea, SENCHA, is from Victoria. This first-grade tea is produced using leaves harvested from summer through autumn. It is a full-bodied sweet tea with an uplifting and refreshing effect. These tea plants came originally from Japan as small cuttings and are now established as a truly Australian green tea plantation. The plant, Camellia sinensis, is nurtured on fertile river flats in well-drained soil with lots of water, the perfect growing environment for the ideal Green Tea Sencha brew. The growth, the leaf's essential nutrients, and the harvest date are all carefully monitored. After the tea is harvested, the leaves are steamed, rolled and dried within 12 hours. Steaming is the traditional Japanese rather than pan frying, which is the traditional Chinese drying style. This artesian Sencha tea relies on the skill and experience of the grower and harvester, the way the Japanese tea growers have made it for centuries. Now, these skills are transported to Australia by this family-owned company, who follow these time-honoured traditions.
