Chinese Sencha

Our Chinese Sencha is a true representation of the artistry involved in green tea production, offering a crisp, light, and refreshing experience that stands out among its counterparts.

Derived from the renowned Sencha tradition, this tea undergoes a unique steaming process that preserves the fresh, herbaceous characteristics of the leaves, unlike other green teas that are typically pan-fired. This method locks in more of the tea’s natural antioxidants and vitamins, contributing to the clean, vegetal notes and the distinctive "green tea" flavour for which Sencha is celebrated.

Selected from the finest whole tea leaves, our Sencha boasts a vibrant green hue that speaks to its freshness and quality. As the leaves unfurl during brewing, they release invigorating vegetal aromas and a flavour profile that’s both crisp and uplifting. The first flushes of the season, which are typically harvested for this tea, lend a slightly sweet, delicate taste that distinguishes it from later, more astringent flushes. The result is an infusion that is as energising as it is flavourful, with distinct fruity undertones. Revered for its high levels of antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, Sencha is known for its numerous health benefits, such as promoting cardiovascular health, improving metabolism, and offering anti-aging properties. This tea not only satisfies the palate but also nourishes the body.

Whether enjoyed as part of your daily ritual or savoured for its health benefits, our Chinese Sencha, available in both our elegant damask caddies and innovative loose-leaf pyramid teabags. Each sip offers a truly satisfying, refreshing infusion that captures the essence of green tea at its finest.
