Sencha Premium green tea Yamecha 100g

Sencha is the most popular type of tea in Japan. Fresh leaves are steamed, rolled, and dried. The infusion has a beautiful green color and a refreshing taste with vegetable notes and a delicate umami flavor. The leaves are quite finely crushed and have the form of irregular “needles.” It is an excellent tea for everyday drinking, refreshing, stimulating, and cleansing the body from toxins.

Sencha Premium is a tea from the first spring harvest, fresh and refreshing. Thanks to the content of tsuyuhikari cultivar leaves, it is characterized by a strongly noticeable umami, notes of green vegetables, and delicate sweetness. Tsuyuhikari is a relatively new cultivar of tea bush, officially registered in 2001, although it was created in the 1970s from a cross between asatsuyu, a cultivar valued for the production of gyokuro tea, and “shizu7132”. The blend of tsuyuhikari and yabukita produces a perfectly balanced infusion full of interesting, pleasant flavor notes, with a fresh green color and a beautiful aroma.

Cultivar - yabukita 50% and tsuyuhikari 50%, harvest time - spring 2025.

Yamecha is a tea from the Hoshino plantation in the Yame area (Fukuoka prefecture) in the northern part of the island of Kyushu, famous for its centuries-old tradition of cultivating the highest quality premium teas.

Properties

Sencha is rich in caffeine and catechin, which is formed in tea leaves when exposed to sunlight. Catechin is a very valuable component of green tea for health - it lowers blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels, helps prevent cancer, has antiviral and antibacterial effects. It also helps regulate metabolism and body fat management. As a result, Japanese sencha tea supports weight loss. Sencha contains caffeine and stimulates the body to action, making it a healthy alternative to morning coffee.

Dishes

Sencha is usually prepared in Japan in small (about 300ml) teapots called kyusu. These are small teapots with a distinctive handle perpendicular to the spout. In our gallery you will find them in many designs. Sencha cups are also low, often gently widening towards the top. In Japan, it is said that cups that are light in the middle allow you to savor the emerald color of the tea.

Brewing method

Prepare a kyusu teapot and tea cups. Boil the water and pour it into the cups to warm the vessels before brewing the tea. Pour 1 teaspoon of tea per person into the teapot and pour the cooled water from the cups (about 70ºC). After 0,5 - 1 minute, shake the teapot slightly and pour the tea into the cups. You can brew the same leaves a second time, preferably with water at a slightly higher temperature for about 0,5 minutes.
