Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Culinary Teas Sencha Tea different from other green teas?
Sencha is steeped differently than delicate white or gyokuro teas, bringing out bolder vegetal notes and umami depth. This blend's premium Japanese leaves deliver a more robust cup while maintaining the light, refreshing character green tea lovers expect.
How much caffeine is in Culinary Teas Sencha Tea?
As a traditional green tea, this sencha contains moderate caffeine—less than black tea but enough to provide a gentle, sustained lift throughout your day.
What's the best way to brew this sencha?
Steep loose leaves at 160–180°F for 2–3 minutes. Hotter water and longer steeping bring out fuller flavor; cooler water and shorter times preserve delicate notes. Experiment to find your perfect cup.
