Sencha - Japanese Loose Leaf Green Tea

Discover Premium Japanese Sencha Green Tea

Experience the vibrant essence of Japan's most beloved green tea. Our premium Sencha is steamed using traditional methods passed down through generations of artisan tea producers along Japan's coastal gardens, where mineral-rich soil and ocean mists create the perfect terroir for exceptional tea.

Flavor Profile & Tasting Notes

Japanese Sencha offers a refreshing, grassy flavor with natural sweetness and delicate umami notes. The steaming process preserves the tea's vibrant jade-green color and fresh, vegetal character. Each sip reveals layers of complexity—bright, clean, and invigorating with a smooth, slightly astringent finish that cleanses the palate.

Artisan Craftsmanship & Ethical Sourcing

Unlike Chinese green teas that are pan-fired, Japanese Sencha is steamed immediately after harvest to halt oxidation, preserving its brilliant color and fresh flavor. Our Sencha is hand-picked by skilled artisans who understand exactly when leaves reach peak quality. We work directly with family-owned gardens committed to sustainable, chemical-free cultivation practices that honor both the land and traditional tea-making heritage.

Health Benefits & Wellness

Rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins and EGCG, Sencha supports digestive health, metabolism, and overall wellness. The natural L-theanine content promotes calm focus and mental clarity, making it the perfect tea for mindful morning rituals or afternoon refreshment. With moderate caffeine (25-50mg per cup), Sencha provides gentle, sustained energy without the jitters.

Brewing Instructions

Water Temperature: 175°F (80°C) – avoid boiling water to prevent bitterness
Tea Amount: 1-2 teaspoons (4 grams) per 8 oz water
Steeping Time: 1-2 minutes for first infusion
Re-steeping: 2-3 infusions, increasing time by 30 seconds each steep

Use a teapot or infuser that allows leaves to fully expand. Sencha is perfect for both Western brewing and traditional Japanese kyusu teapot preparation.

Perfect Pairings

Sencha's clean, refreshing character pairs beautifully with light foods: sushi, steamed vegetables, rice dishes, and delicate pastries. Its grassy notes complement fresh fruit, particularly citrus and melon. Enjoy it plain to appreciate its pure flavor, or with a touch of our artisan honey for subtle sweetness.
