Seiko Tea: Lemongrass Green Tea with Matcha (tea bags)

Since receiving a sample from the Seiko Tea Factory, this tea has been a staff favorite (especially on those busy days when we are thankful for the convenience of tea bags). With a deep-steamed Shizuoka fukamushicha green tea as its base, sweet-savory flavor of matcha is a perfect partner for the mintiness of Japan-grown lemongrass.
