Discover the Bright Taste of Yu Sencha

Crafted with the utmost respect for tradition and purity, our Organic Sencha Powder has been our signature tea since 2004, made from first-harvest leaves. Gram for gram, it has slightly more EGCG than our matcha and about half the caffeine (from our most recent batch testing; results vary by lot and packaging).

Grown in full sun, then steamed, rolled and stone-milled into a fine powder, each leaf goes into your cup whole. We also offer a decaffeinated version, decaffeinated with water alone, for those sensitive to caffeine.

Taste

The taste of Yu Sencha Powder is a palate-pleasing journey - an intricate mosaic of flavors. It greets you with a delicate grassy note, followed by a velvety wave of umami that dances across the tongue, a signature trait of premium Sencha. The balance is immaculate, neither overwhelming nor underwhelming, but a harmonious chord that resonates with the sophistication of simplicity.

Aroma

Inhale and be enveloped by the fresh, clean scent reminiscent of a dew-kissed meadow at dawn. The aroma is a bridge between the earth and your senses, a subtle yet distinct fragrance that calms the mind and alerts the senses, preparing you for the invigorating experience of the first sip.

What's in a Serving

A serving of our Sencha has about 98 mg of catechins, including about 65 mg of EGCG, and about 20 mg of caffeine (from our most recent batch testing; results vary by lot and packaging). What sencha is, how it is made and what is in it is explained in our sencha guide. Our decaf version, at about 4 mg of caffeine a serving, lets you enjoy the ritual any time of day.
