Sencha Green Tea 10 oz / 284 grams

Sencha Green Tea from Ceylon

Sencha Green Tea is pure and straight from Ceylon within days of harvest. Sencha literally means roasted tea. In the modern sencha-making process, the leaf is initially steam-treated to a precursor tea called ara-cha before further processing by hot-air drying, rolling, and light roasting.

• High-quality leaves only

• Amazing taste and rich aroma

• Origin: Ceylon (from the heart of the Kandy district)

• Lifestyle-friendly: vegan, paleo, keto

The best sencha leaf has a high degree of size uniformity and an aromatic and polished emerald color. Dru Era Green Teas are produced in the Kandy district, located in the central hills of Ceylon, and delivered to you within days of harvest.

Sencha tea tastes gentle, pungent, and refreshing, complementing its wonderfully mellow and fresh aroma. It goes well with seafood and is brilliant with chocolate.

Comparison to Other Teas

Sencha, Matcha, or Gyokuro? Tea lovers often ask this question. Each one has a distinct flavor, growing process, and health advantages. Let's analyze the distinctions.

Sencha: The Everyday Green Tea

It consists of tea leaves cultivated in full sunlight and later processed through steaming, rolling, and drying. The result? A crisp and slightly grassy tea with a very vibrant & pure taste. Sencha is good for everyday use. Its taste is mild and full of flavor.

Matcha: The Bold Powder

Matcha is all about its strong flavor. Matcha is made from young tea leaves that are sun shadowed for 3 weeks before they are collected. The result? It has a bitter taste and higher chlorophyll and amino acid levels. It's great for lattes and smoothies.

Gyokuro: The Elite Brew

Gyokuro is like the 'luxury' version of Sencha. It has a richer, umami flavor with very minimal bitterness. It’s smoother and sweeter than Sencha, with a deep, almost savory taste. If you’re a tea connoisseur, Gyokuro is where the real complexity lies. It’s more delicate and is often enjoyed on special occasions.  

The Verdict

For daily sipping? Sencha drink. Want something bold and versatile? Matcha. Seeking a premium, luxurious experience? Gyokuro. Each tea has its own charm—so why not try all three?
