A LA SENCHA — ARABIKI-CHA
A NEW WAY TO INFUSE GREEN TEA INTO DAILY LIFE.
First-flush Japanese sencha, finely ground and instantly prepared in hot or cold water.
It begins with the tea leaf.
Crafted from first-flush tea leaves grown through the winter in Kagoshima, A LA SENCHA is made by gently grinding the whole leaf, so its aroma and character stay just as they are.
It blends effortlessly into hot or cold water, and naturally finds its place in drinks, food, and the small moments of the day.
More than a tea to be enjoyed on its own, it becomes part of everyday life.
Gently present. Quietly supportive. That is A LA SENCHA.
Whole Leaf
Stem, vein, and all.
Most teas are brewed from only part of the leaf. A LA SENCHA grinds the whole first-flush leaf — stems and veins included — into a fine powder, capturing its aroma, flavor, and color as fully as possible. That is why it dissolves easily in hot or even cold water, ready to enjoy at any moment of the day.
Matcha & A LA SENCHA
How A LA SENCHA differs from matcha
Compare the two, and discover the charm of each.
Matcha is…
- Vivid color and a fresh, grassy flavor
- Fine and smooth on the palate
- Best for tea ceremony, sweets, and delicate flavors
A LA SENCHA is…
- Toasty, deep flavor
- Noticeable body and a fuller taste
- Easy for everyday tea, cooking, and drinks
How to Enjoy
No teapot, no whisk.
No special tools — just a spoon and your favorite cup. Three simple steps, and a cup is ready anytime.
Like it stronger? Add a little more powder. Prefer it lighter? Use less. There’s no right or wrong — every cup can be exactly the way you like it.
STEP 01
Scoop
Add one level scoop of powder to your cup or bottle.
STEP 02
Pour
Add hot or cold water. It dissolves beautifully in cold water, too.
STEP 03
Stir
Give it a quick stir (or a few shakes), and it’s ready.
Tea tip
Drinking it hot? For the best flavor, let your boiled water cool to around 80°C before pouring. An easy trick: each time you pour hot water into another cup, the temperature drops by about 10°C — two quick transfers, and you’re there.
Beyond the Cup
More than something to drink.
A fine powder with a gentle flavor — it lifts the flavors around it instead of competing with them.
Make it a latte
Whisk a scoop into warm or cold milk for a latte that’s smooth, mellow, and never bitter. Add a touch of your favorite sweetener, if you like.
Mix it — the Japanese way
Ocha-wari is Japan’s izakaya classic: spirits mixed with green tea. Shake a scoop with gin or shochu over ice for a clean, refreshing cocktail. It even works in beer.
Sprinkle & bake
A spoonful over yogurt or ice cream, blended into smoothies, or kneaded into cookies and cakes — a soft green-tea note that works in any kitchen.
A cup of A LA SENCHA, in everyday life.
