Product Description

Sencha Green Tea 10 Oz (284g) makes 60 cups of tea &  is a classic example of a Japanese green tea

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.

It's possible to enjoy it as a loose leaf tea or in tea bags for your convenience.

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?

What is Sencha tea and how is it processed?

Sencha is a classic Japanese-style green tea, with the name literally meaning "roasted tea."

In the modern sencha-making process, the leaves are initially steam-treated to create a precursor tea called ara-cha, then further processed through hot-air drying, rolling, and light roasting.

This method preserves the tea's vibrant emerald color and fresh character. DRUERA's Sencha is produced in Ceylon's Kandy district using these traditional techniques.

One customer described it as having "delicate flavor, powerful properties."

What does Sencha tea taste like?

Sencha has a gentle, pungent, and refreshing taste with a wonderfully mellow and fresh aroma.

The flavor is crisp and slightly grassy with a very vibrant, pure character. When brewed properly, it is "very mild and pleasant," as one customer noted.

The best sencha leaf has a high degree of size uniformity and an aromatic, polished emerald color. This tea pairs beautifully with seafood and is surprisingly brilliant with chocolate.

How many cups does this package make and how should I brew it?

The 10 oz (284g) package makes approximately 60 cups of tea. Use 1-1.5 teaspoons (2.5-3 grams) per 225ml of water heated to 158-176°F (70-80°C).

Steep for just 1 minute for the first and second brews, then gradually increase steeping time and temperature for subsequent infusions.

Use glass or porcelain tea ware and rinse with hot water before brewing. The same leaves can be steeped multiple times while retaining their fantastic taste and strong scent.

How is Sencha different from Matcha and Gyokuro?

Sencha is grown in full sunlight and processed through steaming, rolling, and drying, producing a crisp, everyday green tea.

Matcha is made from shade-grown leaves ground into a fine powder, resulting in a bold, bitter taste ideal for lattes and smoothies.

Gyokuro is the luxury version, shade-grown like Matcha but processed as whole leaves, producing a richer, umami flavor with minimal bitterness.

Sencha is perfect for daily sipping with its mild yet flavorful character.

Is Sencha tea suitable for daily use?

Yes. Sencha is an excellent everyday green tea.

One customer uses it "daily as an antioxidant and diuretic" and calls DRUERA their "trusted source for quality natural Ceylon plant products."

The tea is vegan, paleo, and keto-friendly. It contains caffeine for a gentle energy boost and L-theanine, an amino acid that may help reduce stress and promote relaxation while improving mental clarity and focus.

Yes, new customers receive a 10% discount on their first order.

DRUERA ships all teas directly from Ceylon's Kandy district within days of harvest, ensuring you receive the freshest possible product.
