JAPANESE SENCHA GREEN TEA: Try this particularly fine green tea with a grassy and vegetal taste. Since sencha is grown in full sunlight, it contrasts to matcha and gyokuro which are mainly grown in the shade.

JAPAN: Our Japanese Sencha green tea is grown in the Kagoshima prefecture of Japan. The weather conditions there are ideal for growing both tea and fruit. Kagoshima is the 2nd largest tea producing region in Japan and has recently obtained recognition for its growth and processing of high grade green teas.

INGREDIENTS: Japanese sencha green tea

CAFFEINE LEVEL: Medium Caffeine

BREWS: 6-10 Cups

Ryan L. ★★★★★

The sample pouch is perfect for testing if you like full-sunlight teas before committing to a bigger bag. The grassy, vegetal notes are exactly as described, and it brews a bright, clean cup that’s way smoother than I expected for a sencha.

Hannah F. ★★★★★

Opened the pouch and the grassy, vegetal aroma filled the kitchen instantly. Brewed a cup for the afternoon slump and the flavor is clean and bright, not bitter at all even without sweetener. This sample’s got me ready to order a full bag.

Claire ★★★★★

The sunny-grow condition really comes through in the cup—it's a bright, clean brew that's a step up from the usual grocery store green tea. I brewed a sample for my afternoon break and the flavor lingered nicely without turning bitter.
