Description
Blender’s Notes: Grandma’s Garden:
Sencha Green Tea can be sourced from both China and Japan, but each region brings its own signature character to the cup. China has spent centuries perfecting a wide range of tea‑processing techniques — from pan‑fired greens to rolled oolongs and the smoky depth of Lapsang — all passed down through generations of skilled artisans. Chinese green teas tend to be sweeter, livelier, and gently toasty, with delicate springlike flavors. Japanese green teas, by contrast, are often brisk, vegetal, and can become slightly bitter if over‑steeped. These differences are especially noticeable in Sencha.
Chinese Sencha is typically pan‑fired, giving it a warm, lightly roasted profile. Japanese Sencha is steamed, which preserves a bright green color and a grassy, chlorophyll‑rich flavor. Steaming versus pan‑firing also influences the tea’s catechin content, including EGCG. Another key difference is withering: Chinese teas are traditionally withered to soften the leaves and develop nuance, while Japanese teas skip this step entirely. These choices create two distinct styles — one smooth and lightly sweet, the other vivid and green.
Our Chinese Sencha is a very light, approachable green tea, steamed, gently flattened, and dried to create a soft, refreshing base perfect for fruit‑forward blends. This blend is one of our most beloved creations—a long‑time bestseller and a favorite among new tea drinkers.
We’ve combined this gentle Sencha with freeze‑dried strawberry, freeze‑dried pear, and freeze‑dried mango to create a bright, juicy, garden‑fresh flavor profile. The fruit pieces release natural sweetness and vibrant aromatics, making the tea smell as beautiful as it tastes. A touch of hibiscus adds a delicate pink hue to the cup, while marigold petals bring a sunny splash of color that makes the blend visually stunning in the basket. The aroma is lush and fruity, with strawberry and mango rising immediately from the cup. Brewed hot, it’s smooth and refreshing; poured over ice, it becomes an incredibly crisp, juicy green tea — one of the best iced teas we offer. This blend was one of the first teas we ever created, and it remains a customer favorite for good reason. It’s a perfect choice for anyone new to tea or anyone who loves a bright, fruity cup.

When talking about the many types of tea, Green tea is the most common and the most recognized tea beverage and it is the easiest to find. The primary countries that export Green Tea are Japan – lighter green teas and China – darker more robust green teas where for both countries Green Tea is a celebrated beverage! We carry a full line of teas from both countries. We have lots of selection and the customer can choose the strength level they prefer in their tea. Much of the differences in the strength of Green Tea does come from processing of the lea leaves.
The teas from Japan are usually milder in flavor and produce a faint tan cup of tea and are machine processed. If you are new to the tea world – Japanese green teas are lighter on the palate and are a great place to start. The teas from China tend to be stronger and more astringent that those from Japan and are hand processed. We pair many of our stronger flavors with the Chinese green teas. The Peach and Mint combos we have are done with a strong Gunpowder Green tea allowing the flavors to balance when making a cup of tea. We don’t want the flavor of the tea to supersede the wonderful taste of the high quality green tea it is paired with.
Many of the tea leaves will go through a steaming or pan firing process. This process will stop oxidation and keep them in the Green Tea Family. Then the leaves are dried in large rollers or fan belts bringing you the final distinctive product depending the tea you choose. The tea leaves will have a beautiful green color and will have some texture and suppleness to the leaves. We carry Sencha, Dragonwell, Gunpowder and Kukicha as a few options.
