Sencha
“Sencha Japan’s hallmark tea, born in Uji, Kyoto”
Dominating over 70% of Japanese tea consumption, sencha (green-leaf tea) is the hallmark tea of Japan. It is created through a process of picking, steaming, kneading,and drying tea leaves that have been grown in natural sunlight. The first-grade tea picked from late April through early May is a top quality product boasting an exquisite taste and fragrance. Fukamushi-cha (deep-steamed greentea) is popular for it’s milder taste, the bitterness having been subdued by a longer steaming process.
