The soul of Premium Japanese Sencha Tea
High-quality Japanese Sencha tea is the quintessence of the sophistication of green tea. Sencha, known for its herbaceous, tart taste and mild finish, is a favorite Japanese tea, and in Tyford’s version it is appreciated for its style. The leaves, carefully processed and steamed to preserve their vibrant green color, give the tea an aroma that is both fresh and slightly sweet. Unlike thick teas, high-quality Japanese Sencha tea has light, refreshing properties that are like a refreshing breath of fresh air.
The Tyford Tea Estate produces premium Japanese Sencha tea, reflecting the simplicity of its Japanese origin. Despite the fact that tea is produced in the Western Ghats, it retains the traditional technology of Japanese farmers, when the leaves are harvested at the perfect time to give them the best taste. The result is a cup that transports you to a serene garden where every sip is like an instant epiphany.

A craft based on traditions
Producing high-quality Japanese Sencha tea is an art that requires high precision. The process begins with collecting young and delicate tea leaves, which are immediately steamed after harvesting to prevent oxidation and preserve their green hue. Steaming, a distinctive feature of Japanese Sencha tea, gives it a fresh, herbaceous taste. In Tayford, the leaves are twisted and thoroughly dried, as a result of which they lose their delicate taste and aroma.
Tyford’s commitment to excellence is evident in their premium Japanese Sencha tea. The unique microclimate of the estate in the Western Ghats, where fresh mist penetrates through the fertile soil, helps preserve the natural properties of the leaves and gives tea a true and exceptional character. Each batch is a testament to Tyford’s 160-year heritage, combining old World methods and environmentally friendly technologies, which gives the drink a genuine and authentic taste.

The moment of Zen brewing
Brewing premium Japanese Sencha tea is a ritual that requires mindfulness. To achieve the best taste, start with fresh filtered water heated to about 175°F — too hot water can cause bitterness in the tender leaves; too cold, you will miss the whole taste. Use one teaspoon of premium Japanese Sencha Leaf tea per cup and infuse for one to two minutes. Thanks to such a short brewing time, the tea remains bright and homogeneous, and its herbaceous notes become brighter.
I like brewing premium Japanese Sencha tea from Tyford in a small Kyushu teapot, watching the leaves unfold and take on a jade hue. The scent alone—fresh, herbaceous, and slightly seaside-is enough to calm the mind. To get an extra portion of zen tea, I sip it slowly, enjoying the pungent aftertaste. Easy to prepare or with the addition of squeezed lemon to enhance the taste, this tea turns every moment into a peaceful haven.

Comfortable enjoyment
The versatility of high-quality Japanese Sencha tea is one of its many advantages. Its light, refreshing taste allows you to serve it with various dishes. I like to drink it with sushi or simple salads, where the herbaceous taste complements the aroma without interrupting it. It is also well suited for serving with sweet dishes such as mochi or citrus tartlets, where its clean aftertaste softens the sweetness.
On warm days, it is recommended to brew Japanese Sencha tea of the highest grade in cold form. Soak the leaves in water for a few hours and drink a milder and sweeter tea, which is incredibly refreshing. I even add it to smoothies or use it as the basis for recipes inspired by matcha, adding “green energy” to them. No matter what you like, Tyford’s premium Japanese sencha tea brings a touch of sophistication to every glass.

There’s a benefit in every cup.
In addition to its delicious taste, premium Japanese Sencha tea has a number of health benefits that make it even more attractive. Green tea is known for its antioxidants, particularly catechins, which protect the heart and strengthen the immune system. Tea contains a small amount of caffeine, which provides a light burst of energy without feeling shaky, as in coffee. The soothing L-theanine contained in it calms the body, which makes premium Japanese Sencha tea the best natural companion in moments of mindfulness.
Tyford’s commitment to purity ensures that their premium Japanese Sencha tea is free of artificial additives. Eco-friendly farming methods, including applying organic fertilizers and saving water, ensure that each cup is beneficial for both the planet and your body. Sipping this tea, you show self-love, nourish your mind and soul.
