Discover the Light, Fragrant World of Cold Brew Sencha
If you enjoy the vibrant umami and aroma that matcha delivers, cold brew sencha opens a new doorway in your green tea journey. Sencha steeps whole leaves rather than powdered tea, so the liquor appears clear and golden. The flavour feels lighter yet still carries a mellow sweetness that matcha fans know well. A chilled infusion highlights this brightness, bringing a drink that is refreshing, aromatic, and quietly energising.
Why Cold Brew?
Cold water draws sweetness and umami while holding bitterness back. Steeping at a low temperature also protects L-theanine, a compound that promotes calm focus.
- Lower caffeine that suits evenings
- Bright flavour that pairs with food
- Clear pale-green colour that pleases the eye
A single jar in the fridge brings calm and flavour ready whenever you need it.
