Sencha is what most Japanese households drink every day, and it makes up the large majority of the country's green tea. Grown in full sun and steamed within hours of picking, it is fresh and grassy with a clean finish.

Sencha is the tea most Japanese households drink every day, and it accounts for the large majority of the country's green tea production. The leaves are grown in full sun, then steamed within hours of picking to stop oxidation before it starts — the step that separates Japanese green tea from Chinese pan-fired styles. Rolling and drying follow, shaping the leaf into the thin dark needles you see in the bag. In the cup it is fresh and grassy with a clean astringency, and the balance shifts with the water: cooler water pulls the sweetness and umami forward, hotter water brings out the briskness. One portion of leaf will give you two or three good infusions, each a little different from the last.

How to Make Sencha Like a Pro
Sencha rewards a lower temperature and a short steep — that is what pulls the sweetness and umami forward and leaves the briskness behind. Brew it hotter and you get a sharper, more astringent cup, which is a matter of taste rather than a mistake.
Heat the Water
Heat water to 70°C (158°F).
Add the Leaves
Add 5 g of leaves to a kyusu teapot.
Steep
Pour 150 ml of water and steep for 1 minute.
Pour & Brew Again
Pour out every drop, then brew the same leaves 2 more times (20 seconds each).

Why Organic Sencha Fields Make a Difference
Teplantor absorberar allt från jorden, vilket gör bekämpningsmedelsfritt jordbruk särskilt viktigt. Bönderna vi arbetar med har hittat ett sätt att odla utsökt te utan att skada det naturliga ekosystemet.

Nio teas har varit mitt favoritställe att köpa teer av god kvalitet ett tag nu, och de gör mig aldrig besviken. Deras teer är av utmärkt kvalitet, men jag skulle vilja lägga mer vikt vid kundservicen - Nio-teamet har varit väldigt vänliga och hjälpsamma varje gång jag har haft problem. Deras kundservice gör mig aldrig besviken, de är väldigt uppmärksamma och snabba på att svara på alla frågor, det är därför jag har varit en lojal kund ett tag nu.

Shipping is free once your order passes the threshold for your country — USD 54.99 · EUR 54.99 · GBP 44.99 · CHF 49.99 · CAD 74.99 · DKK 399 · SEK 599 · PLN 229 · CZK 1,290. Everywhere else it's the equivalent of USD 54.99, converted automatically. Below the threshold a flat rate applies, always shown at checkout before you pay.
We ship from warehouses in the US, the EU and Japan — whichever is closest to you. US and EU orders arrive in 4–12 business days; the handful of countries served from Japan take around 10. Business days count from dispatch rather than from when you order, and exclude weekends and public holidays. You'll get a tracking number by email the moment your parcel leaves the warehouse.
We only buy from fields grown without pesticides or chemicals. We ask each farmer directly how they manage their land, visit the plantation and processing facility ourselves, taste every harvest before committing, and check that the biodiversity around the fields is alive. Small family farms don't always carry paperwork — so we verify it in person instead.
Japanese green tea covers an enormous range, and choosing online isn't easy. If you've tried yours and it isn't for you, email info@nioteas.com within 30 days with your order number and a line on what you didn't enjoy. We'll send a different tea of equal or lower value, free. Nothing to post back — keep it, share it, or try brewing it cooler. Once per order.
Email info@nioteas.com within 30 days with your order number and a photo. We'll approve it, cover the return postage with a prepaid label or a reimbursement, and refund you — no restocking fee. Refunds go to your original payment method within 2 business days of the return reaching us; your bank may take another 5–20 to show it.
Unopened items in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days. Tea is sealed for hygiene, so opened packs can't come back — but the swap above covers exactly that situation. Return postage is yours unless the item arrived damaged, defective or incorrect.
Orders to the US and EU ship domestically from our local warehouse, so there's no customs charge and no duty. A small number of destinations are served from our Japan warehouse, where your own customs authority may apply import duty, VAT or a carrier handling fee on delivery. Those are set by your country, not by us. Ask before you order and we'll help you check.
