Eden Foods Organic Sencha Tea Previously known as Eden Bancha, Eden Sencha is the same tea. Only the name has changed to best reflect its actual harvest time. Organic, first tender spring tea leaves from centuries old tea plantations of Uji, the most famous tea growing area of Japan, and provenance of Japanese tea. Freshly picked tea leaves are immediately steamed and rubbed to release their flavor and aroma before slowly drying. This traditional process preserves Sencha's emerald green color and many healthy antioxidants, collectively referred to as catechins. Sencha is the most popular tea in Japan, and always served in fine restaurants. Relaxing yet uplifting with 41 percent less caffeine than brewed coffee. Celebratory, loose green tea leaves make a satisfying pot of tea. The reclosable, light shielding package protects the teas flavor, nutrients, and color.
Ingredients: Organic Tea Leaves (Camellia sinensis)

Note: consumers may wonder why Eden Foods products do not carry the green "USDA Organic" seal. Eden Foods explains: "Though all EDEN organic food is grown, handled, processed, and certified in a way that meets and exceeds the requirements for using the 'USDA Organic' seal, Eden chooses not to use this seal on its food labels. In short this seal does not approach Eden's standards for organic, in practice or in spirit."
