Thanks to its flavor and beneficial effects on health, Sencha is considered the king of green teas. To enjoy these virtues, it is essential to choose a high-quality product, rich in antioxidants. There are indeed many varieties of Sencha teas at various prices. This Chinese green tea is one of the most appreciated along with Gyokuro, Matcha, or Sencha Matcha. It contains fewer amino acids than Matcha and Gyokuro teas. The caffeine content is also lower compared to black tea.
Like Matcha and other green teas, Sencha is rich in antioxidants. A true health ally, it plays a preventive role in many diseases such as cancer. This flavorful drink also contains caffeine that stimulates metabolism. Note that it is much better tolerated by the body than the caffeine present in coffee.

This Chinese tea fights against signs of aging: it stimulates cognitive functions and delays the appearance of wrinkles. In China and Japan, it is consumed daily to benefit from its virtues.
The preparation of Sencha green tea is similar to that of other teas. For an exquisite taste, carefully follow the preparation instructions and enjoy it plain, without sugar, honey, or milk.
To benefit from all the advantages of Sencha green tea, steep 12 to 15 grams of tea leaves per liter of water. In practical terms, this corresponds to 2 teaspoons of high-quality tea in 2 cups of filtered water.
The ideal steeping temperature is between 70 and 80°C (158-176°F). If the water is too hot, the drink will have a bitter taste. Pour the water directly over the leaves and allow to steep for two to three minutes, no longer.
