Sencha Superior is an excellent balance of quality and value.
Sencha is harvested three or four times a year. But with each harvest, the tea becomes slightly lower in quality. This is why the first flush, or Ichiban Cha, is the best.
All of our Sencha products are made exclusively from Ichiban Cha.
Sencha contains more of the beneficial nutrient catechin than other green teas, because it is grown in full sunlight, thus it becomes yellowish green in colour. Sencha tastes gently astringent and smells wonderfully fresh.
Sencha is the most popular tea in Japan. Almost 80% of all tea produced in Japan is Sencha — 130 million Japanese green tea lovers can’t be wrong!
