This green tea variety originates from Japan, made of leaves that are rolled and steamed to prevent them from oxidizing. It is the most popular tea variety in Japan, and is now appreciated by tea lovers across the world.
In Japan, this tea's country of origin, sencha is practically synonymous with green tea, or even tea of any kind. More than 80% of all tea produced in Japan is sencha, a testament to its immense popularity. Unlike most Chinese green tea varieties, which are pan-fired to protect the flavor, sencha leaves are rolled and lightly steamed, giving them a delicate and refreshing flavor. The tea is also highly versatile, and can change according to the water temperature it steeps in - warm water provides a light flavor, while hot water can become stronger and more bitter. This makes it easy to customize sencha to your own personal preference.
The freshness of the tea leaves in sencha also helps to preserve many of its positive effects, including its many vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients, as well as the many antioxidants green tea is known for. Each sip of sencha provides you with a natural boost of B and C vitamins, along with minerals like manganese, iron, phosphorus and potassium. It also provides light amounts of caffeine for a pleasantly invigorating quality.
