  • Health benefits in green tea

Sencha, a staple in Japanese tea culture, is a type of Japanese green tea known for its unique flavor profile and health benefits. Sencha is steamed immediately after harvest, preserving its vibrant green color and fresh taste. Primarily sourced from the Shizuoka region of Japan, where the optimal climate and soil contribute to its distinct characteristics, Sencha is typically harvested in the early spring. In fact, Fukamushicha, or deep steamed green tea, is the signature style of Japanese green tea from Shizuoka, which minimizes the astringency and bitterness in sencha.

The Sencha green tea flavor profile has a balance of vegetal sweetness and umami. Green tea can be described as grassy with a refreshing quality. The flavor profile of Sencha varies depending on factors such as cultivar, cultivation methods, harvest time, and processing techniques.

Sencha is rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which have been linked to various health advantages. These compounds in green tea are known for their potential to reduce the risk of diseases as well as their ability to support weight management and boost metabolism. Additionally, Sencha green tea contains vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that contribute to your overall health and well-being.
