Product Overview

Eden Sencha Organic Green Tea
Eden Sencha Organic Green Tea is distinguished as the highest quality sencha, featuring hand-picked spring leaves known as Uji cha. This tea is cultivated in ancient tea plantations near Uji, Japan, by the artisans of the Nagata Co-op. The traditional organic growing methods employed here are strictly adhered to, ensuring the purity of the tea. Uji is renowned for its unique, slightly acidic soil, which provides an ideal environment for the tea plants. The Uji River's morning mist gently cares for the leaves, shielding them from harsh sunlight, resulting in an exceptionally smooth and delightful sencha green tea experience.

Notably, Eden Sencha is created from the earliest spring leaves, typically reserved for Gyokuro and Matcha grade teas. Its smooth and mellow taste is both uplifting and invigorating. This product embodies decades of organic cultivation, being hand-harvested and expertly processed by artisans. The tea bags are made from unbleached manila fiber, featuring cotton strings and are crimped sealed without the use of staples, plastics, or adhesives. The tags are printed with soy-based ink, ensuring that these tea bags are completely safe and environmentally friendly.

The Nagata Co-op places great emphasis on maintaining rich soil, revitalized with vegetal compost rather than chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Their commitment to organic agriculture has stood for over 45 years, during which they have wholly rejected chemical methods of food production.

Historically, tea was first introduced to Japan from China, with Uji emerging as a notable cultivation area. For over 4,000 years, green tea has been utilized as a medicinal herb, with Japan developing precise methods to produce the highest quality varieties.

The organic EDEN Sencha Green Tea is made exclusively from the tender, handpicked leaves of spring. The leaves undergo immediate steaming and rubbing to prevent oxidation, preserving their fresh flavor and beneficial antioxidants. The flavor of EDEN Sencha is influenced by several factors: the soil it grows in, the picking season, and the methods used in processing.

The Nagata Co-op’s commitment to organic practices is evident in their careful handling and traditional cultivation techniques, resulting in exceptionally fine green tea. Traditional tea bags often contain plastic for heat sealing, but Eden ensures every aspect, from the unbleached manila fiber to the 100% cotton string, is free from chemicals and plastics.

Research supports the health benefits of green tea, highlighting powerful antioxidants—including catechins—that comprise 40% of the dry weight of the tea. The various polyphenolic compounds found in green tea contribute to its positive health attributes.
