Sencha literally means roasted tea, an old name pertaining to the main processing stage, which was once dominant in the making of this most popular of all Japanese green tea. In the modern sencha-making process, the leaf is initially steam treated before further processing by hot air drying, rolling and finally light roasting. Selected leaves from the first harvest make this a premium tea. The leaf of the best sencha has a high degree of size uniformity and possesses an aromatic & polished emerald color. Our Sencha tea produces rich green liquor that exudes a full-bodied taste. A totally opulent experience. |
