This special tea is associated with Kagoshima Prefecture on the southern island of Kyushu and represents authentic Japanese green tea enjoyment of exceptional quality.

Its finely processed, jade-green leaves reveal its careful selection even when dry. In the cup, the Japan Sencha Uchiyama Standard unfolds a fresh, balanced aroma with excellent flavor and a typically Japanese note. The taste is soft, clear, and pleasantly rounded, with a delicate freshness and elegant structure. This makes this Sencha suitable for both experienced green tea lovers and customers who wish to enjoy high-quality Japanese tea in their daily lives.

The Japan Sencha Uchiyama Standard is particularly prized for its high natural EGCG content. Thus, this tea combines a delicate taste with mindful tea enjoyment.

For preparation, a water temperature of 70 to 80 °C is recommended. This allows the delicate nuances to unfold optimally, and the infusion remains mild, aromatic, and elegant.

Preparation

Optimal Preparation

When preparing “Sencha Uchiyama” tea, the most important factor to consider is the temperature at which it is brewed. Boiling water—that is, water heated to 100 degrees Celsius—dissolves the polyphenols more effectively. However, this also results in a greater loss of the vitamin C contained in the tea. At 100 °C, the taste is rather harsh, which many tea drinkers will likely avoid. For those who prefer a milder flavor, a brewing temperature of 70 °C is ideal. The green tea then has a much more delicate flavor, though it contains fewer active ingredients than when brewed at 100 °C.Another tip to enhance both the flavor and the concentration of active compounds is to add lemon juice. This combination increases the amount of active compounds in the tea. But be careful: Before adding lemon juice, the tea should have cooled sufficiently. The optimal steeping time is 8–10 minutes. A shorter steeping time will result in fewer catechins being released. When buying green tea, you should definitely pay attention to quality. Japanese Sencha has the highest catechin content. Even better is the quality of Sencha Uchiyama, which is grown exclusively using organic farming methods. This means it is also free from any pesticide or fungicide treatments.

Those with a thyroid hormone deficiency should avoid consuming large amounts of green tea. Green tea contains fluoride, which can interfere with the transport of iodine to the thyroid gland.
