Our featured bulk green tea is Sencha, a staple beverage and the most commonly consumed loose leaf green tea in Japan. The final form of Sencha is traditionally a rolled leaf which is then infused with hot water. The leftovers from Sencha production are used to make Konacha which is ideal for tea bags.
