Discover the authentic taste of Japan with our Japanese Sencha Green Tea, a tea that embodies centuries of tradition and meticulous craftsmanship. Unlike non-Japanese senchas, which often use pan-firing methods, Japanese Sencha is steamed shortly after harvesting. This unique process preserves the vibrant green color and enhances the tea’s signature umami flavor, setting it apart as a truly distinctive and superior green tea.
What Makes Japanese Sencha Special?
Steaming Process: Japanese Sencha is steamed, not pan-fired, giving it a fresh, vegetal taste with a subtle sweetness and grassy aroma. This contrasts with Chinese-style sencha, which often has a nutty or toasted flavor.
Umami-Rich Flavor: Thanks to Japan's unique terroir and traditional steaming, our Sencha offers a smooth umami profile balanced with delicate floral notes.
Sustainably Grown in Japan: Cultivated in the lush tea fields of Japan, our Sencha reflects the care and precision of Japanese tea farmers.
The Art of Japanese Sencha
Originating in the 18th century, Sencha quickly became one of Japan's most beloved teas, representing everyday luxury. Japanese tea farmers perfected the steaming technique to lock in the fresh, grassy character of the leaves, a hallmark of authentic Sencha. Its bright green color and clean flavor have made it a staple in Japanese culture and a favorite among green tea enthusiasts worldwide.
