Whole-leaf Sencha Green tea is the ONLY ingredient in Sencha Green, a popular green tea 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 does naturally contain caffeine and should be consumed in moderation by those with a sensitivity to caffeine.

Sencha Green tea really packs a punch when it comes to health benefits.

- 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.

What does Sencha Green taste like?
Sencha Green tea has a clean, slightly grassy taste, derived in part from the steaming process. Golden green in colour, our whole leaf Sencha Green has a fresh aroma and mild astringency. As with many teas, the longer you brew Sencha Green, the stronger the flavour will be.
