About This Tea
What does Sencha taste like?
This Japanese green tea unfolds with a vibrant, fresh grassy aroma and a delicate umami taste, characteristic of a well-crafted Sencha. Each crisp infusion offers a distinctly cleansing and warming se. It leans grassy, umami and crisp.
How should I brew Sencha?
Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.
Where does Sencha come from?
Grown in Japan.
How much does Sencha cost?
Starts at $23.00 from Dobrá Tea, or about $0.46/g. A 50g package gets you around 8 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $2.76 per session. Explore more green teas on Teadar.
