Our Sencha is organic, the leaves are long and a rich, emerald green color flecked with shades of lighter green. Taste is slightly astringent and produces a yellow liquor. Ours is grown in Fujian Province in the Japanese style. Processing of the leaf is done through a series of steams and drying to shape the leaf. The yellow infusion offers a robust and grassy taste. Sencha should be brewed carefully with water that is not too hot.

Tasty grassy sencha

Posted by Leigh Adele Merrihew on 5th Apr 2022

I am a huge sencha fan and when i read the other reviews for this tea, I was crushed. I ordered it anyway and initial brew was disappointed - it was light and I walked away. But a few minutes later I saw it on the counter, had another sip and it was PERFECTION. So maybe it needs to be brewed a bit longer but is as fine a Sencha as they come. I'm happy that it only has a few stars. I'll order it all!

I've been drinking Senha for awhile now . My recent order was very disappointing. Not much taste or strength. Very disappointed ..is it old stock?

Perhaps I am not being "open"- but this is very different than what I think of as Sencha. It is not at all grassy or vegital, without that deep umami notes that I love in Sencha. A drinkable everyday tea, but not what I was hoping for..
