ARIEL 100% Japanese Sencha

ARIEL 100% Japanese Sencha is a pure japanese whole leaf green tea, available in four formats for wholesale accounts. Options include 125 g and 1 kg loose leaf, and 24-bag and 60-bag tins and bags – all tea bags are 100% compostable. Kosher certified throughout, it performs across specialty retail, single-cup service, high-volume programmes, and iced tea service.

Tasting Notes

The cup is bright and pale yellow-green, with characteristic umami depth, a fresh vegetal character, and a soft grassy finish. This Sencha carries a gentle sweetness and subtle floral lift that distinguishes it from Chinese-style green teas. It reads as approachable to first-time green tea drinkers and credible to experienced palates.

Origin

Sourced from Japan, this whole leaf Sencha reflects the precision of Japanese cultivation. The steaming process – applied shortly after harvest – locks in the leaf's natural colour and preserves its fresh, grassy character. The result is consistent cup quality across single service and high-volume preparation.

Brewing

Steep 2.5 g per 250 ml at 80 °C for 2 minutes. At this ratio, a 1 kg bag yields approximately 400 portions – a useful baseline for programme planning.
