Mecha is the part of the tea plant that determines the flavor of sencha during its production process. Usually, tea with mecha removed will have a lighter flavor, so it is not removed in large quantities. Depending on your preference, if you brew it in a teapot, using the same amount as regular sencha may make it too strong. Please enjoy the rich aroma and flavor. The expiration date is November 2026 if unopened and stored properly. #Mecha #Tea #TeaLeaves #GreenTea #ShizuokaTea
