Our single silk sachet for Sencha is now using our Japan Sencha loose leaf tea.  As always it is packaged in convenient pyramid cornsilk sachets. 

Our high-grade Japanese Sencha from Shizuoka, Japan, exceeds expectations. A spring tea, with a clear light green liquor and a full, slightly bittersweet, fresh grass flavor with notes of sea mist. And a great mouth feel.

Sweet, vegetal, with a pleasant clean finish are the hallmarks of our superior Japan Sencha. Steeps multiple times with sustained excellence.

Great for several infusions.

L-theanine is a natural component found almost exclusively in tea. It is shown to promote alpha brain waves in the brain which are associated with a relaxed yet alert state of mind. This state is often predominant in successful sportspeople.  With a relaxed yet alert state of mind, a desirable state for thinking and operating is created. Gail Owen, a bio psychologist and Lead Scientist at the Beverages Global Technology Centre in the United Kingdom and says “Research is showing that the alertness felt by drinking tea throughout the day that has always been attributed to the existence of caffeine is now being associated to another component in tea which is responsible for the unique effect that people feel from tea and that is L-theanine."
