Packaging: 50 g (or 100 g, 200 g, 500 g & 1 kg) containing Sencha Japanese Green Tea. (Price includes VAT.)

Description: Sencha consists of flat, long leaves that yield a clear, yellowish extract with a delicate and slightly spicy flavor reminiscent of freshly cut grass. It can be enjoyed without milk, with light meals, or on its own at any time of the day.

Japanese Sencha contains whole tea leaves, unlike matcha, which is in powder form. During processing, the leaves are steamed and pressed to produce fine needle-like shapes, acquiring the familiar aroma of freshly cut grass. Sencha is the most popular and widely cultivated tea, representing about 80% of production. Its flavor is refreshing and slightly astringent, which can be pleasant when brewed carefully.

Sencha is one of the most popular teas in Japan.
