Sencha, Organic

A very mild, smooth Sencha both in aroma and taste. This Organic Sencha is very high in antioxidants. A characteristic of Sencha is its grassiness, both in aroma and flavor. Tea plants used to make Sencha are grown in sunlight and have higher levels of antioxidants, less caffeine and lower levels of L-Theanine than tea plants grown in shade. Sencha came to Japan from China in the 17th century. Prior to this time, Matcha (powdered tea) was the tea consumed in Japan. Sencha then became the preferred tea in Japan because it required much less preparation than Matcha. Today, the Japanese consume more Sencha than Matcha. Sencha and Matcha are both Japanese ceremonial teas.
