Sen is powdered sencha, Japan's most popular everyday green tea, made from first-harvest sencha leaves and stone-milled into a fine powder. Because you drink the whole leaf, there are no tea bags or strainers: just stir into water for a fresh, lightly brisk cup with a delicate natural sweetness. It's lighter and more refreshing than matcha, and ready in seconds.

Sencha or matcha?

Both come from the same tea plant. Matcha leaves are shaded before harvest, which builds rich umami and a creamy texture. Sencha leaves grow in full sun, giving a lighter, crisper, more refreshing flavour. If you find matcha too strong, or want an easy green tea for during the day, Sen is a great choice.

How to prepare

Hot tea

Add 1g (about ½ teaspoon) to a cup. Pour in 150ml of water at 70–80°C and stir or whisk well. Use a little more powder for a stronger cup.

Iced tea

Mix 2g with a splash of lukewarm water until dissolved, then top with 250ml of cold water and ice.

On the go

Fill a Mini Matcha Shaker to the line with cold or lukewarm water first, then add 1g of Sen. Seal and shake for 20 seconds, then pour into your water bottle and top up. Avoid hot water, as it can cause the shaker to leak.

Storage

Green tea powder is sensitive to light, heat, air and moisture. Reseal tightly after each use, keep it in a cool, dark cupboard, and enjoy within 6–8 weeks of opening for the best colour and flavour.

Questions

Is powdered sencha the same as matcha?

No. Matcha is made from shade-grown tencha leaves, while Sen is made from sun-grown sencha leaves. Sen is lighter and crisper, and it mixes easily without a whisk. For the full matcha experience, try Tsubaki.

Do I need a whisk?

No. Sen dissolves with a good stir or a quick shake. A whisk gives a slightly smoother cup if you have one.
