Sencha

About

What is Sencha? Sencha is Japan's most popular everyday green tea, made from whole leaves that are steamed shortly after picking to lock in their vibrant colour and fresh, grassy flavour. Unlike matcha, which is ground into a fine powder, sencha leaves are steeped directly in hot water, giving a lighter, more delicate cup with a natural sweetness balanced by a gentle, refreshing bitterness. Sencha is enjoyed hot or cold, on its own or alongside a meal, and is a staple in households and restaurants across Japan. It's naturally rich in antioxidants and contains a moderate amount of caffeine, making it a comforting pick-me-up any time of day.
