Sencha
Sencha is the most popular green tea in Japan. It is harvested from the leaves that are exposed to direct sunlight. After they are plucked, the leaves are shortly steamed and are then rolled and dried. There are several different types of sencha, but shincha, also known as ichiban-cha, is often cited as the highest-quality version.
It is produced from the first seasonal harvests and typically has a sweeter and more delicate flavor. Japanese sencha has green, needle-like leaves. It has a vegetal and grassy character, mild sweetness, and subtle astringency. Sencha tea pairs well with seafood and rice.
