The story
Why sencha tastes like proper green tea
Sencha is what most people in Japan actually drink, making up around eighty percent of their tea production. The leaves are steamed rather than pan-fired, which keeps them vivid green and gives that distinctive vegetal character. You get fresh grassiness, a savoury umami depth, and a clean finish that makes you want another cup.
Our Fukujyu Sencha delivers exactly what good sencha should: bright yellow-green liquor, a silky texture, and that balance of steamed greens and gentle sweetness. It tastes clean and refreshing rather than heavy or bitter. The trick is cooler water, around 80°C rather than boiling, which brings out the sweetness and keeps any astringency at bay.
This is the kind of green tea that rewards a moment of attention. Give it three minutes at the right temperature and you get something genuinely refined. It works mid-morning, after lunch, or whenever you want something lighter than a mug of builder's. Once you find your rhythm with it, it becomes a quiet habit.

Shop tip: Water temperature matters more than steeping time here. Too hot and it turns bitter, so let your kettle cool before pouring.

Good questions
Things people ask us in the shop
Does sencha contain caffeine?
Yes, it contains natural caffeine at a medium level. Less than black tea or coffee, but enough to give you a gentle lift. Best enjoyed earlier in the day if you are sensitive to caffeine.
Why does my green tea taste bitter?
Usually the water is too hot. Boiling water scorches the leaves and pulls out harsh tannins. Let your kettle cool to around 80°C before brewing, and you will get sweetness instead of bitterness.
How many cups will I get from 100g?
Using about 2.5g per cup, a 100g pouch gives you roughly 40 cups. Enough to make it a proper habit.
Can I add milk to sencha?
We would not recommend it. Sencha is best enjoyed on its own so you can taste the fresh, grassy character. Milk would muddle everything.
How should I store it?
Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat, sunlight and strong aromas. Green tea is more delicate than black, so airtight storage keeps it tasting fresh.
