House Sencha has the well balanced harmony of mellow vs. bitter taste and refreshing aroma, standard of traditional Kyoto style Sencha. House Sencha is Ichiban Cha, the first harvest of tea leaves and best crop of the year. All of our Sencha products are made exclusively from Ichiban Cha. Sencha contains more of the beneficial nutrient Catechin than other green teas, because it is grown in full sunlight, thus it becomes yellow-green in color. If you are searching for a good value Sencha, would you try this once? You will surely be pleased with the quality and the well balanced flavor of traditional Sencha, available at such a reasonable price.
Zen tea imports its Japanese green teas directly from Uji in Kyoto. Known for its cultural heritage, it is the birthplace of Japanese tea. Uji tea is harvested and packaged directly at the tea plantations to preserve the flavour and freshness of the tea.

Thanks to Zen Tea for a sample of this.
How appropriate, I’ve been listening to a lot of house music and now I am drinking a tea to go along with it. It has such a pretty green color when brewed.
This sencha has a very vegetal grassy smell – it’s definitely green tea. It might be a little bit too much for my tastes, I prefer my greens on the mellow side. However, for someone who wants a quality sencha and isn’t as bothered as much by grassy greens, this is a good choice.
Easily the best sencha I’ve had!
Mellow, grassy flavor with slightly floral notes, vibrant yellowish green color, short steep time and stays bold for many steepings.
Dry leaves are thin, needle-like and deep green in color. Mostly whole or large pieces. Wet leaves look like they’ve been freshly picked.
Zen Teas obviously did their homework in sourcing a great sencha :)
This is such a mellow green; it’s light, floral and very grassy. I have a sudden craving for sushi. I can see why this would be a standard tea to keep around. I could easily drink an entire pot!
I’m off to drink another cup!
I really, really enjoy Zen Tea’s Sencha House. It tastes fresh and green, like I’m lying in an early Spring garden or on a freshly mowed lawn.
