About Cherry Sencha

Vibrant in colour and bursting with a rich green shade, this Japanese cherry green tea is both flavourful and exotic. Crafted from the finest Sencha tea leaves and blended with dried sour cherry pieces, you can enjoy this tea in the mornings and afternoons as a sweet, soothing treat.

About Japanese green tea

Japanese green teas are characteristic in that they are often processed using steam treatment to halt oxidisation. On the contrary, China uses dry heat. As a result, Japanese green teas are more vegetal in flavour making them taste entirely unique.

Effects

Sencha tea contains a relatively high caffeine content. However, this caffeine is processed more slowly than that in black tea or coffee because it is bound to polyphenols. Additionally, Sencha contains the amino acid L-theanine, known for its calming effects. This combination makes Sencha both invigorating and relaxing. The antioxidants, such as polyphenols and catechins in Sencha, also support the immune system, promote heart health, and can have anti-inflammatory effects.

How to enjoy

Enjoy this cherry tea on ice as a refreshing cold drink, especially on hot days. The exotic flavours of Cherry Sencha pair perfectly with a splash of lemon juice or a hint of honey. This tea beautifully complements light desserts like almond cookies or fruit salads, offering a juicy, fruity indulgence.
