  • Sencha – Japan’S Green Tea
    Sencha – Japan’s green tea Sencha (煎茶) is Japan's most consumed and also the most produced tea variety. This green tea owes its popularity due to the refreshing taste and the numerous variations. Depending on the time of harvesting a Sencha can either get a sweet or tarty taste. For Sencha is usally the outstanding variety Yabukita used which makes up about 77% of all cultivated tea cultivars. But, depending on terroir, are also completely different varieties such as Yutakamidori or Asatsuyu used. Varieties of Sencha Sencha can be divided into many different categories. But mainly, it is is distinguished by harvest time and steaming duration. A very early harvested Sencha for example is generally of a higher quality and the tea leaves are finer than a later harvested (eg. Bancha). Asamushi (浅 虫), Sencha which was only slightly steamed (about 30s). Chumushi, Sencha with medium steaming (30-90s). This is the standard steaming time. Fukamushi (深 蒸し), deep steamed Sencha (1-2 min). It is often marketed as Fukamushicha. Jo Sencha (上 煎茶), fine Sencha. Toku Jo Sencha, (特 上 煎茶), extra fine Sencha. Hachijuhachiya Sencha (八 十八 夜), tea that was harvested 88 days (literally nights) after Risshun, the beginning of spring. Shincha (新 茶) is the first harvest of a year. Kabusecha or Kabuse Sencha is like Gyokuro a shaded tea. It's often regarded as a own tea variety. Production of Sencha Sencha is nowadays mostly harvested by machine and immediately steamed in order to prevent oxidation (kill green). This method, also called the Japanese method, ensures that the tea tastes very fresh.
