Green Tea leaves Sencha Bulk, JAS Certified Organic, Japanese Tea, Uji-Kyoto, 10.6 oz (300 g) Bag [YAMASAN]

Q: Is the tea different in the 80g bag vs. 500g bag of sencha loose leaf tea? I bought both but the tea from the 80g bag seems better.

A few factors influence the price and amount of each bag. There are also different kinds of green tea as well. I'll write a general idea of tea facts here. 1. Shincha (a new crop picked from April to early May) is expensive but contains most umami. Therefore there are differences in the amount and price. 2. Some tea leaves are picked by hand instead of machines. (This makes it even more costly.) 3. Soft and lustrous dark green leaves are preferred but expensive. Low-grade tea leaves are the opposite and maybe more bitter. 4. Lastly, of course, there is supply and demand. I hope this helps.

Q: How many 6 oz cups will this make? Asuming you didnt resteep

I would guess that it makes about 120 to 170 cups, depending on the strength you want, based on 60 cups for 180g indicated on their Genmaicha tea bags.

Q: Hi, why do you say that your Sencha Green Tea is low in caffeine?

Bancha green tea has a lower amount of caffeine compared to sencha green tea. This is because bancha green teas use older leaves than sencha green tea. Bancha has about 10 mg of caffeine per 8 ounces cup. Gyokuro and matcha green tea has more caffeine than other types of green teas According to google!
