About This Blend
Our Japanese Sencha green tea is 100% premium quality produced in the Kagoshima prefecture. Japan Sencha is generally considered to be the best green tea in the world. The leaves are semi-fermented, steamed, then hand-rubbed followed by being pan-fried which gives the large leaf its distinctive glossy appearance and feel.
