🍃 What Is Sencha Green Tea?

Sencha (煎茶) is the quintessential Japanese green tea, made from whole tea leaves that are steamed immediately after harvest to stop oxidation. This technique preserves the leaf’s natural green color, fresh aroma, and high antioxidant content.

Unlike matcha — which is powdered — Sencha consists of rolled tea leaves that you steep in hot water. The result is a bright, clear infusion with a refreshing flavour profile — slightly sweet, gently bitter, and full of umami.

It’s Japan’s most common daily tea, enjoyed for centuries for its health benefits, clean energy, and vibrant taste.

🏯 The History and Heritage of Sencha

Sencha originated in Japan during the 18th century as a simpler, more approachable alternative to ceremonial matcha. It quickly became the everyday tea of the Japanese people, appreciated for its freshness and health benefits.

Today, Sencha represents Japanese craftsmanship and mindfulness, embodying the philosophy of ichigo ichie — “one moment, one meeting.” Every cup is an invitation to slow down, appreciate the present, and enjoy life’s simple beauty.
