Sencha 煎茶

Japan's most beloved green tea. Sencha represents the art of steaming and rolling fresh tea leaves to preserve their vibrant green color and delicate flavor. Unlike matcha powder, sencha leaves are steeped whole, allowing you to experience the pure essence of the Camellia sinensis plant.

The traditional steaming process halts oxidation immediately after harvest, locking in natural antioxidants and creating sencha's characteristic fresh, grassy notes. Perfect for multiple steepings throughout the day, each cup reveals new meditative layers of flavor to savor as the leaves slowly unfurl.

Sencha is steamed immediately after harvest, preserving catechin levels far better than other green tea processing methods. Studies show steamed green teas retain 20–30% more EGCG than pan-fired equivalents. Sencha is rich in catechins and vitamin C, which support immune defense and help the body fight infections more effectively. Research has found that sencha can help reduce LDL cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health. Sencha supports cognitive clarity, metabolism, and skin health through its potent antioxidant profile.
