Sencha is one of the main Japanese green teas. Generally grown in full sunlight, its leaves are steamed after harvest, then rolled and dried. Its profile combines vegetal notes, umami and bitterness, with varying degrees of astringency depending on the tea and how it is prepared.
Green tea is naturally rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins. These substances help protect our cells against damage caused by free radicals, which contribute to cellular ageing. They may also support the proper functioning of our immune system and the body’s natural defences.
