Interesting Facts About Delicate Sencha Green Tea (Steam Method) from Kokutaro (200g)
  1. What is Sencha?

    • Sencha is the most popular type of green tea in Japan, made from the first or second flush of tea leaves. It is known for its refreshing, grassy flavor and light sweetness. Kokutaro’s Sencha is produced using the steam method, a traditional Japanese technique that preserves its fresh taste and vibrant green color.
  2. The Steam Method:

    • The leaves are quickly steamed after harvesting to prevent oxidation, locking in their natural nutrients and flavor. This method ensures a pure, vegetal aroma and a balanced umami profile, characteristic of high-quality Sencha.
  3. Packed with Nutrients:

    • Sencha is rich in catechins, a type of antioxidant that supports heart health and boosts immunity. It also contains L-theanine, which promotes relaxation, and vitamin C, making it both energizing and soothing.
  4. Moderate Caffeine Content:

    • With moderate caffeine levels, Sencha provides a gentle energy boost without the jittery effects of coffee. It's perfect for a morning or mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
  5. Health Benefits:

    • Sencha supports metabolism, aids digestion, and promotes clear skin. The antioxidants also help fight free radicals, contributing to overall wellness.
  6. Generous 200g Pack:

    • This 200g pack is ideal for daily tea lovers, offering plenty of servings for consistent enjoyment.
