Green Tea Sencha

Sencha is one of the most well-known types of green tea. Originally consumed by Buddhist monks, it is now regarded as a source of inspiration. “Sencha” translates to “steamed tea”—Sen meaning steam and Cha meaning tea. The tea leaves are carefully folded lengthwise while drying on warm trays, then heated in wood-fired pans to halt fermentation.

You’ll immediately recognize the long, finely worked, vibrant green leaves in this high-quality tea. After infusion, the full leaf structure is visible, and the resulting brew is a bright yellow. The fresh, grass-like flavor and delicate tartness make it a true delight for any Sencha enthusiast!
