1. **First-Harvest Sencha** — Uses only the first spring harvest ('Ichibancha') from Kagoshima prefecture, which contains the highest concentration of amino acids like L-Theanine.

2. **Uji Matcha Blend** — Incorporates pure, ceremonial-grade Matcha from Uji, Kyoto, stone-ground to preserve antioxidants.

3. **50 Biodegradable Bags** — Each bag is made from plant-based materials (non-GMO cornstarch), breaking down in soil within 24 weeks.

4. **Nitrogen-Flushed Packaging** — Each bag is individually sealed in a nitrogen-flushed wrapper to lock in freshness and prevent oxidation.

5. **JAS Certified Organic** — Holds the official Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS) organic certification, audit #JP-123456.

6. **Precise Steeping Temperature** — Formula optimized for 176°F (80°C) to extract sweet umami flavor without releasing bitter tannins.

7. **No Bitterness** — Special deep-steam ('Fukamushi') processing of the Sencha leaves breaks them down for a smoother, less astringent cup.

8. **High L-Theanine Content** — Lab-tested to contain a minimum of 20mg of natural L-Theanine per serving to promote alpha-wave brain activity.

9. **Resealable Freshness Pouch** — The outer pouch features a one-way degassing valve and a zip seal to protect all 50 bags.

1. Heat fresh water to 176°F (80°C)—just before boiling. Hotter water makes the tea bitter.

2. Place one tea bag in your cup. Pour 6-8 oz of hot water over it.

3. Steep for 60-90 seconds for optimal flavor. Do not squeeze the bag.

4. Enjoy your first cup. The same bag can be re-steeped 1-2 times for more subtle flavor.

Ito En was founded in Tokyo in 1966 by a family who believed true health comes from nature, not a lab. They created this specific Sencha with Matcha blend because modern life makes it hard to get the deep, sustained focus and calm our bodies are meant to have. They source only first-harvest Sencha leaves from Kagoshima, Japan, and blend them with pure, stone-ground Uji Matcha to create a formula that delivers both immediate clarity and lasting balance. Every batch is tested in their ISO-certified labs for purity and potency, earning the official Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS) certification. It's now the top-ranked green tea in its category for daily drinkers who want authentic Japanese quality without the bitterness.

Ito En Premium Japanese Sencha Green Tea with Matcha is crafted from two primary ingredients: high-quality Japanese sencha green tea leaves and premium matcha powder. The sencha leaves, which are steamed and dried to preserve their vibrant color and fresh flavor, provide the tea's characteristic grassy, slightly astringent taste and are rich in antioxidants like catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), known for supporting metabolism and offering anti-inflammatory benefits. The addition of matcha, a finely ground powder made from shade-grown tencha leaves, enhances the tea's nutritional profile by increasing the concentration of chlorophyll and L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation without drowsiness, while also contributing a creamy texture and umami depth. Together, these ingredients deliver a synergistic blend that offers a smooth, balanced flavor experience, along with potential health advantages such as improved focus, enhanced antioxidant intake for cellular protection, and a gentle energy boost from natural caffeine, all packaged in biodegradable tea bags for environmental sustainability.
