While both green teas come from the same Camellia Sinensis plant, bulk matcha and Sencha teas vary in the way they are grown and produced. Unlike matcha tea, Japanese Sencha green tea leaves are steamed, dried, and rolled before they can be brewed like a traditional loose leaf tea. This careful process creates a distinct flavor profile that is unique to Sencha’s individual texture and aroma.
Sencha green tea has lower caffeine levels compared to matcha but still carries a nutritionally balanced blend of L-theanine, folic acid, beta-carotene, calcium, potassium, and phosphorus. Sencha's growing process is key to multiplying its levels of antioxidants which support healthy cells and a robust immune system. Studies have also linked Sencha tea to increased cognitive activity, reduced blood pressure, and boosted metabolism.
Rising demand for clean labels and health-conscious products free of artificial flavors and sweeteners have boosted Sencha tea’s popularity outside of Japan, the world's leading Sencha green tea consumer. Global beverage trends also show a growing interest in Sencha tea among younger, health-conscious millennials in search of natural and organic beverage alternatives with less sugar and “superfood” status. At Keicha Tea World, we specialize in producing organic Sencha and other bulk Japanese green teas from the volcanically rich soils of our farm in Kagoshima. Contact us today to learn more.
