What is Sencha?
Sencha is a type of Japanese ryokucha (green tea) that is prepared by infusing the processed whole tea leaves in hot water. Among the types of Japanese green tea prepared by infusion, sencha is distinguished from such specific types as gyokuro and bancha . It is the most popular tea in Japan, representing about 80 percent of the tea produced in Japan. The flavor depends upon the season and place where it is produced, but shincha , or "new tea" from the first flush of the year, is considered the most delicious.
