Premium Japanese Green TeaOrigin:
JapanSencha is the most-consumed green tea in Japan. Our Sencha is grown in the volcanic soil of the southern island of Kyushu, the second-largest tea-growing area in Japan. This beautiful leaf steeps to a lightly vegetative liquor.
Green tea is perfect for cold-steeping. It's healthy because it contains the powerful antioxidant EGCG. Drink four cups each day, hot or cold. Remember never to put boiling water on green tea!
Also available in pyramid sachets.
According to the FDA, Consuming Just Two Cups of Black or Green Tea Daily Reduces the Risk of Heart Disease and Diabetes.
I am no expert, but I think this tea is real good and the price was really affordable
I love many of the green teas on offer with Elmwood. I think of Sencha as being a good introduction to non-green tea drinkers. Mild flavor profile. I drink green tea every morning, so I like to keep Sencha in my regular rotation.
Excellent green tea for iced tea.
I mix this wit the decaf version to cut my caffiene levels. Excellent flavor!
So I've been looking for a quality looseleaf green tea, but all the dragonwell teas are getting outrageously expensive, what with the ridiculous health craze about green tea. I used to get top grade Rishi organic dragonwell teas for less than $30/lb, but those days are long past. Anyway, so I decided to take a chance with this green tea from Elmwood Inn. As it turns out, this sencha is very good. It's grassy and lightly sweet with very little bitterness. It brews to a very sencha-like, distinctive green cup. It's no lungjing, but it's very good. I would say my only minor complaint is that the bag does contain a fair amount of stems with no leaves attached, but for this price, it's acceptable. This is a solid value, and the quality is very good. I recommend this if anyone is in the market. It certainly blows bagged sencha such as Kirkland Signature Ito En Matcha Blend (Green Tea) (which is really MOSTLY sencha with a little matcha powder thrown in) out of the water!
