Sencha "Vanilla Green"
SGT9477.81
Structure: Green tea, flavoring
Sencha tea, or Tea-Sencha, originated in Japan but today Sencha is produced in China as well and sold to a demanding Japanese market. The scent of this tea has been described as 'grassy' or 'fresh hay' and 'ocean breezes'. Its brightly colored leaves are needle-shaped and rolled tightly to protect the distinctive flavor. The most popular in Japan, Sencha tea literally translated means "common tea" proving that what may be common for one man is connoisseur for another.

Green teas contain 30-40% polyphenols or about 50 to 150 mgs per cup. Green tea is low in caffeine but high in vitamins including vitamin C, water-soluble B vitamins and minerals.
