Cool, crisp and refreshing, Sencha Mint is a mix of Japanese Sencha and peppermint.

History & Heritage

Sencha is Japan's everyday green tea. Its steamed style was developed in 1738 by Nagatani Soen, a farmer in Ujitawara near Kyoto, whose method of steaming and rolling the leaves gave the tea its vivid green color and fresh aroma. Here, that bright, clean tea meets cool peppermint.

Interesting Facts

• Ingredients: Japanese Sencha and peppermint.

• Compared with Moroccan Mint, Sencha Mint is more subtle and doesn't need any sweetener.

Tasting Notes & Pairings

The brewed tea is crisp, slightly astringent and floral, with a cooling mint finish. And of course, it makes excellent iced tea. Try it with salads, grilled chicken, or dark chocolate.

Brewing tips (general guideline): use 1 heaping teaspoon (about 2–3 g) per 8 oz of water at 160–175°F, steeped 1–2 minutes. Do not over-brew. Adjust to taste.
