Health Benefits

Like many premium green tea varieties, sencha tea is naturally rich in antioxidants and beneficial plant compounds. Research suggest green tea is widely associated with supporting overall wellbeing and may help protect against oxidative stress as part of a balanced lifestyle. 

Supreme Sencha also contains naturally occurring vitamin C and fluoride, making it a refreshing and nourishing choice for daily tea drinking. Most importantly, it offers exceptional flavour whilst remaining light, clean and naturally energising. 

Origin & Craftsmanship 

Grown in Ise Bay, Mie Prefecture, on Japan's Pacific coast, this exceptional tea benefits from a humid subtropical climate, mineral-rich growing conditions and centuries of tea-growing expertise. 

The leaves are harvested early in the season, quickly steamed to halt oxidation, then carefully rolled and dried to preserve their vibrant character. This traditional process creates the distinctive long, needle-like leaves that produce Sencha's fresh flavour, vivid colour and signature creamy texture. 

The result is an authentic Japanese sencha green tea that stands apart from mass-produced alternatives, delivering remarkable balance, freshness and complexity in every cup.
