Sencha Green Tea (50g)

Sencha - steamed Japanese green tea

I found this amazing company when visiting a market in Amsterdam. I bought a pack from a Japanese man after I ate at his stall. I absolutely loved it and knew it was the high quality I was looking for to stock in Sunfleck.

Refreshing Aroma and Bitter & Astringent

This Sencha tea is characterised by its refreshing aroma of fresh green leaves, and bitter and astringent flavour. This makes it a very pleasant green tea which you can enjoy at any time of day.

Steamed Japanese Green Tea 

The green tea leaves are steamed. Due to this steaming process, oxidation of the tea leaves is prevented. After steaming, the leaves are kneaded with skillful techniques. Finally, the leaves are dried and formed into needles.

Benefits:

• antioxidant-rich: neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and lower the risk of chronic diseases (strong scientific evidence)
• enhanced brain-function: L-theanine and caffeine, both present in matcha, have been extensively studied fand shown improvements in attention, relaxation, and mental clarity (strong scientific evidence)
• metabolism boost & fat oxidation: great after meals for digestion (moderate strength -small- scientific evidence)
• heart health: lowering cholesterol and blood pressure (moderate strength scientific evidence)

Beneficial addition to a healthy diet and regular exercise, especially for antioxidant

Use:

• Use water at 70–80°C (below boiling) to prevent bitterness.
• Use about 1 teaspoon (2–3g) of sencha per mug of water
• Steep for 1–2 minutes. Over-steeping can result in a bitter taste and more caffeine
• High-quality sencha can be re-steeped 2–3 times, with slightly shorter steeping times for subsequent brews.
