Refined Sencha

Sencha is unique in that the bushes grow mostly in direct sunlight. We select only the youngest leaves in the first flush of the season. These are then flash steamed to prevent oxidisation before being rolled and dried. The resulting tea is refined, refreshing and revitalising.

Tasting Notes

Grassy and mellow, our Sencha is smooth, subtly sweet, and lingers long on the palate.

Health Benefits

Rich in antioxidants, such as the catechin EGCG, the Japanese have revered Sencha tea for centuries for its perceived benefits.
