Tasting Notes
Tasting literally of green leaves, Sencha tea has a mild vegetable flavour with a very complex finish. It is very healthy and retains a naturally high polyphenol content. You may recognize the aroma and tasting experience of this tea from top-notch sushi restaurants.

Sencha tea is a beautiful dark green tea, compared with the colour of almost any other green tea in the world. This is a visual indication of the special way Sencha tea is made - a special drying/steaming process that prohibits oxidation of the tea leaves while being rolled and dried. A truly Japanese style tea, this Sencha variety is very different from “ordinary” green teas. It is the higher-grade cousin of “Bancha” green tea, which gained worldwide favour when merchants began selling it as a less costly Sencha alternative. Bancha tea is the market leader of Japanese style tea because of the marketing emphasis that is given to it. In reality, Sencha tea is a far superior tea, which was seldom exported from Japan until recent years. We hope you will agree that this is an amazing tea upon your first sip. Enjoy!
