Description
Sencha tea is a Japanese ryokucha (green tea). It is yellow in color. Green tea and all teas, in general, have been around for a while, but it wasn’t until the 17th century when green sencha tea was first being used. In this century, the tea leaf was brought over to Japan from China. Before that, people preferred to drink matcha in Japan. However, once sencha green tea was introduced, it became a go-to for the Japanese. This is because the green sencha tea didn’t require any kind of preparation in advance, unlike other teas, so it could be enjoyed as soon as possible. In today’s world, green sencha tea is still a favorite. In fact, 80% of all tea that comes from Japan is green sencha tea. Green Sencha tea is a tea whose leaves are steamed to prevent oxidation, rolled, and then dried. The shape of the tea leaves are long and narrow and dark green in color. Green Sencha tea is prepared by brewing the tea leaves in hot water. Green Sencha tea is the most popular green tea in Japan. There are four types of green sencha teas. Shincha is a fresh, sweet blend harvested in spring. Asamushi sencha has a milder flavor. Fukamushi is quite strong while Chumushi has a mild and buttery flavor.
