Sencha is a light and refreshing green tea made in Kyoto from the first tender leaves of the season, picked when they are most flavourful in late spring. Within 24 hours of plucking the leaves are lightly steamed, rolled and then cooled. Immediately afterwards they are packed to seal in their fresh aroma.

Green tea contains vitamin C and 6 times more antioxidants than black tea. It is believed to help prevent cardiovascular disease, regulate blood sugar levels, lower blood pressure, aid weight loss and fight colds and flu. How to prepare green tea: Green tea is best enjoyed after pouring in simmering water (75-80°C) and letting it steep for 2 to 3 minutes. For the impatient: to avoid burning the tea leaves but to be able to consume this drink with many advantages quickly, cover the leaves with cold water before pouring boiling water over them. Finally, choose spring water or filtered water to release the original aroma in the most natural way (source: Les Jardins de Gaïa)
