Grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, this organic sencha offers a pure, honest expression of the green tea leaf at its most approachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe word 'sencha' translates simply as 'infused tea', and while the style is most commonly associated with Japan, China has a long tradition of producing sencha-style green teas of its own. Chinese sencha follows a subtly different path in the processing room: the leaves are shaped by folding them lengthwise during drying, then gently heated in pans to halt oxidation and preserve their vibrant colour. This careful process results in long, well-formed leaves with a slightly rounded, softer character — more gently sweet than vegetal, and notably smooth in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe infusion itself is a bright yellow, almost chartreuse in colour — clear and inviting — with a flavour that balances light grassiness with a fine natural sweetness. It is a tea that needs nothing added; it is complete and satisfying as it is. Organically grown leaves bring an added purity to the experience, with nothing to obscure the tea's own honest, refreshing quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eBuddhist monks have long valued green tea for its gently invigorating and centring qualities, and this organic sencha carries that same spirit of quiet clarity. Many people enjoy it as part of a considered daily ritual, particularly those seeking a gentler alternative to coffee or a mid-afternoon lift without intensity. Green tea is traditionally associated with antioxidant catechins and a moderate, balanced caffeine content — enough to focus the mind without overstimulating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHigh Teas London was founded in 2008 with a simple aim: to bring genuinely exceptional tea to as many cups as possible.

Water that is too hot will draw out bitterness and work against the tea's naturally sweet character, so it is worth the brief wait. Use one heaped teaspoon per cup and steep for two to three minutes, adjusting to taste. The leaves will easily give a second infusion with a slightly lighter and more delicate result; simply add an extra minute to the steep time. This tea also makes an excellent cold brew: add the leaves to cold filtered water and leave in the fridge for six to eight hours for a smooth, clean, naturally refreshing iced green tea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"High Teas London","offers":[{"title":"50g","offer_id":8257516634148,"sku":"ORMI-50-DB98","price":3.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"125g","offer_id":8257697644580,"sku":"ORMI-125-DB98","price":6.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g","offer_id":8257697710116,"sku":"ORMI-250-DB98","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":8257697742884,"sku":"ORMI-500-DB98","price":20.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"60g","offer_id":41239362142386,"sku":"ORMI-60-DB98","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"150g","offer_id":41239363813554,"sku":"ORMI-150-DB98","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/2161\/7956\/products\/OrganicMildSenchaPM.jpg?v=1778163924","url":"https:\/\/highteas.co.uk\/products\/organic-mild-chinese-sencha-loose-leaf-green-tea","provider":"High Teas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
