Facts About Sencha Tea in this Blend
- Sencha has a close association with Japanese culture.
- Despite many believing it to be a quintessentially Japanese infusion, it originates from China.
- Nevertheless, an estimated 78% of Japanese Tea drinkers choose this particular brew.
- What’s more, the Japanese have a legend surrounding its origins.
- They believe that a Tea farmer in Uji, near Kyoto, created it in 1738.
The Chinese disagree. According to them, they have used Sencha for brewing and blending for many hundreds of years. Our Banana Green Tea is one such example – albeit a newer one!
