Japanese Sencha Green Tea is a type of Japanese ryokucha (green tea) made by infusing the processed whole tea leaves in hot water. It is a whole-leaf tea that makes up over half of Japan's yearly tea harvest and can be enjoyed hot or cold. Sencha has a fresh, green color and taste and is described as having elements of bitterness, astringency, umami, and sweetness, all with a pleasant aroma. It uses the Camellia sinensis tea plant, like most other teas, and is at times shaded, but mostly sun-grown. Sencha is never an oxidized tea. Not even a little, as you'll notice when we discuss the production of Sencha.

This decaf tea is perfect for those who want to enjoy the benefits of green tea without the stimulating effects of caffeine. It can be enjoyed hot or cold, making it a refreshing and healthy beverage option all year round.
