Harney & Sons Organic Sencha Green Tea is a Japanese loose-leaf green tea that brews a clean, naturally sweet cup with a fresh, vegetal character. It suits anyone who wants a classic sencha for everyday sipping, whether served hot in the morning or cold-brewed on a warm afternoon.
Why You'll Love This Harney & Sons Green Tea
- Classic Japanese sencha: Sencha is Japan's best-known green tea style. This one is made from a single ingredient, pure sencha leaf, with nothing added.
- Bright, layered flavor: Expect herbaceous, vegetal notes, a gentle natural sweetness and a subtle mineral finish in a light, elegant body.
- Easy to brew well: For how to brew green tea like this, use about one teaspoon of leaf per 8-ounce cup and steep in 160–180°F water for 2 to 3 minutes. Cooler water than you would use for black tea keeps the cup smooth rather than bitter.
- Great cold-brewed: Add the leaves to cold water and steep for several hours in the refrigerator. The result is a mellow, softly sweet iced cup.
- Made for more than one steep: The loose leaves can be infused again. Use slightly hotter water and add a little extra time to draw out more flavor.
- Sizes to fit your routine: Choose a 4 oz. or 8 oz. tin for your cupboard or gifting, or a 1 lb. bag if you drink sencha daily.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Harney & Sons Organic Sencha have caffeine?
Yes. Like all green tea, this sencha contains caffeine. Its caffeine level is medium, so it fits well into a daytime tea routine. Your cup will be stronger or milder depending on how much leaf you use and how long you steep it.
How should I brew Harney & Sons Organic Sencha?
Use roughly one teaspoon of loose leaf for each 8-ounce cup. Steep in water between 160°F and 180°F for 2 to 3 minutes, then strain. For iced tea, cold-brew the leaves in the refrigerator for several hours.
Can I re-steep the leaves of Harney & Sons Organic Sencha?
Yes. After the first infusion, steep the same leaves again with slightly hotter water and about 30 seconds more time. Each round brings out more of the leaf's character.
