These teabags brew a light-body green tea with crispness and slight umami sweetness. Made from sencha mecha (shoots and buds) and konacha (flakes), this tea is packaged in a wide pyramid-shape sachet. Choose this teabag for a simple and authentic daily cup of sencha.

The most popular tea variety in Japan, sencha brews a harmonious balance of umami, sweetness, bitterness, and astringency, with a bright fragrance like a sunny field. Enjoy sencha in the morning or afternoon, at mealtime or teatime. This classic green tea fits any occasion.

Ways to Prepare

  • Add one sencha teabag to a cup, pour on less-than-boiling temperature water, and wait for 1.5 minutes.
