Hound of Zencha is our premium organic Japanese-style sencha green tea — clean, grassy, and refreshingly smooth. Named in honor of the calm, focused energy that only a great green tea can give you (and the zen dog owner who brews it). Sencha is the most popular green tea in Japan, prized for its balance of grassy, slightly sweet flavor and remarkable antioxidant content. Our zencha uses whole leaves that unfurl beautifully during steeping, releasing the full depth of flavor and nutrition. Tasting Notes Fresh grass, light vegetal sweetness, clean finish. A classic, elegant green tea with no bitterness when brewed correctly. Health Benefits Green tea is one of the most researched beverages for health benefits. Rich in catechins (especially EGCG), it's associated with improved brain function, metabolism support, and powerful antioxidant protection. Brewing Instructions Amount: 1 tsp per 200ml Water temperature: 75–80°C (not boiling — prevents bitterness) Steep time: 2–3 minutes Multiple infusions: Good sencha can be re-steeped 2–3 times Caffeine Content 20–45mg per 8oz cup — gentle, sustained focus with L-theanine for calm clarity.
