Sencha Ginger Detox Tonic
Sencha green tea meets fresh ginger, lemon, and a touch of honey in a clean, energizing wellness drink packed with antioxidants.
This tonic pairs sencha's natural antioxidant power with the digestive warmth of fresh ginger. Together they create a drink that feels cleansing without the harshness of pure ginger shots.
Sencha is rich in catechins—particularly EGCG—which support metabolism and reduce inflammation. The ginger amplifies these benefits while adding a spicy, invigorating kick.
Brew the sencha at 75°C to keep it sweet and grassy rather than bitter. Too-hot water scorches green tea leaves and destroys the delicate vegetal flavors you want in this tonic.
Drink it warm in the morning to wake up your digestion, or let it cool to room temperature for a gentler sip throughout the day. Either way, it's a simple daily ritual that your body will appreciate.
