Cocoa-Nut Green tea is part of our Green Tea range. Japanese Sencha green tea is the main green tea ingredient in this blend, a popular variety that is super-charged with health benefits.
What is Sencha Green tea?
One of Japan’s favourite teas is Sencha Green tea. Sencha Green tea is made from the unprocessed, unfermented Camellia sinensis leaf, which is steamed, rolled and dried. Because it comes from the same plant as black tea, Sencha green tea naturally does contain caffeine and should be consumed in moderation by those with a sensitivity to caffeine.
What are the benefits of Sencha Green tea?
Sencha Green tea really packs a punch when it comes to health benefits.
- Sencha Green tea is rich in antioxidants, which may provide anti-cancer benefits
- The vitamins and minerals contained within Sencha Green tea can provide a considerable boost of energy.
- Sencha Green tea is high in Vitamin C, good news for boosting your immune system.
- The properties in Sencha Green tea have been found to speed up the body’s metabolism, thereby providing fat burning benefits.
- The catechins present in Sencha Green tea can reduce the bacteria in our mouths, resulting in sweeter breath.
- The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in Sencha Green tea may also help soothe skin conditions such as acne. It can be useful to apply cooled green tea directly to the skin for a short time (10-20 minutes) before rinsing the tea from the skin. Ensure you avoid contact with your eyes in case of irritation.

You are right, this is lovely and my 11 year old daughter has taken a liking to it too. It was her who told me to order more as she has used them all! Thank you for recommendation.
