JAPANESE SENCHA GREEN TEA

Japanese Sencha is light, very refreshing and more delicate than its Chinese counterpart.

The flavour of Japanese Sencha is often described as vegetal or grassy, we also call it delicious! The leaves are slightly steamed after picking to prevent oxidisation, locking in the fresh green colour and flavour. The leaves are then rolled which gives them their unmistakable long, thin shape.

Japanese Sencha: also a treat served over ice.

Try adding cucumber, mint and a squeeze of fresh lime juice to make this lovely refreshing drink  from The Spruce Eats. For a blend, try mixing some of our Japanese Sencha with our soothing sweet Peppermint tea; brew as usual and enjoy the combo.
