Sencha is by far the most popular tea in Japan and accounts for the majority of the local production. This high-quality tea is plucked in the spring and steamed lightly before being rolled. The long, needle-shaped leaf appears to be slightly brittle. After brewing, the fine leaf structure becomes clearly visible. The infusion has a shimmering, deep olive-green colour and the cup is light green. This Sencha has a definitely milder taste than its competitors. With its pleasantly tender note and a light sweetness, this tea is particularly recommended for sensitive taste buds.
