Product Description

Japanese Match + Sencha

Sencha literally means "roasted (煎) tea (茶)", however, the process by which sencha is created differs from Chinese green teas, which are initially pan-fired (and could probably therefore more accurately be called "roasted" teas). Japanese green tea is first steamed for between 15–45 seconds to prevent oxidization of the leaves. Then, the leaves are rolled, shaped, and dried. This step creates the customary thin cylindrical shape of the tea. Finally, after drying, the leaves are fired to aid in their preservation and to add flavour.

This is a mixture of green tea powder ('matcha') and sencha leaves creates a rich green tea. Matcha is made through a delicate process of grounding the best parts of the green tea leaf, and is the same powder as that used in the Japanese Tea Ceremony. Sencha is a more common green tea, drank every day in Japan. In this packet they are combined. Like other teas this is rich in antioxidants called polyphenols. These help prevent cancer, keep the heart healthy and aid general well-being. perfect blend of Sencha and greentea powder gives a unique fragrance and taste for your special cup of tea.
