Yuzu Sencha is a blend of a high quality Sencha tea leaves and the Japanese lemon (Yuzu) peel to give the drink a more flavorful and aromatic experience. Mild taste with a pleasant sweet note and smooth texture.

Sencha is the most popular of all green teas made in Japan. This tea is very rich in C vitamin, microelements and antioxidants, especially catechins, which help our body to maintain youth and protect cardiovascular system. Catechins positively affect the digestion system, which is why we recommend to drink Sencha 30 min after meal. Due to its mild taste, it goes well with food, especially tempura and seafood.

During the production process the tea leaves are steamed immediately after harvest to prevent oxidization, then they undergo the rolling and drying process.
