What does Organic Sencha taste like?

Organic Sencha has a fresh, clean character with gentle grassiness, sweet umami, and a smooth finish. It’s the classic Japanese green tea flavor — light, vegetal, and refreshing.

What temperature should I brew Sencha at?

170–180°F (77–82°C) — never boiling water. Steep for 1–2 minutes maximum and remove the sachet immediately. Boiling water and over-steeping are what make green tea bitter.

Is Sencha good for focus?

Yes — Sencha has medium caffeine plus L-theanine, an amino acid found in tea that promotes calm focus without the jitteriness that comes from coffee or high-caffeine drinks.

Can I cold brew Sencha?

Yes — cold brew is one of the best ways to make Sencha. Use 1 sachet per 12 oz of cold water and refrigerate for 2–4 hours. The result is ultra-smooth with natural sweetness and zero bitterness.

What Makes Sencha Different

Sencha is Japan’s most widely consumed tea — and for good reason. Unlike Chinese green teas which are pan-fired, Sencha is steamed immediately after harvest to halt oxidation. That steaming is what gives it the characteristic fresh, vegetal character: clean, slightly grassy, with that distinctive sweet umami note that pan-fired teas don’t have.

Our Sencha is certified organic and sourced through specialty tea partners. Packed in full-leaf pyramid sachets so the leaves have room to unfurl properly — the way Sencha is meant to brew. Treat it right with water temperature and you get a beautifully smooth cup. Rush it with boiling water and it gets bitter. That’s the deal with green tea — but once you know, it’s easy.

Steep It Right — Temperature is Everything

The Rule: Water 170–180°F / 77–82°C — never boiling • Steep 1–2 min only • Remove immediately — no over-steeping

☕

Classic Hot Sencha 1 sachet in 8 oz at 170–175°F. Steep 1–2 min. Remove immediately. 1 min is lighter and sweeter; 2 min brings more umami depth. The sweet spot is around 90 seconds. Never steep longer than 2 min or use boiling water — that’s what makes green tea bitter.

Iced Sencha 2 sachets in 10 oz at 175°F for 90 seconds, then pour immediately over a full glass of ice. Flash-chilling stops the steep instantly and locks in that clean, vegetal brightness. One of the best iced teas you’ll make.

❄

Cold Brew (shincha-style) 1 sachet in 12 oz cold water in the fridge for 2–4 hours (Sencha cold-brews faster than black tea). Ultra-smooth, naturally sweet, no bitterness at all. Incredible with lunch.

Soft Green Latte 1 sachet in 4 oz at 175°F for 90 seconds (strong), top with warm milk and a touch of honey. Not matcha, but a soft, grassy latte that’s gentler and very drinkable.
