Sencha Green Tea (Japan)

A noble samurai came to visit the wise tea master Lao Cha, and the old man offered the samurai some tea.– Oh, Sensei! – the samurai exclaimed, – I am so impressed! What is this tea that is so refreshing and comforting, with a taste so bold and sweet, yet so fresh that Spring itself returned once again!?– This tea is Sencha. Now hang your sword, forget all your worries, and just enjoy. Sencha is known and loved for its sweetness, mild astringency, and flowery-green aroma.  Sencha (煎茶) is a staple Japanese Green Tea. Its name is straightforward and translates as "steeped tea". This Sencha is processed as Fukamushi Cha (深蒸し茶 – deep-steamed tea), which means that it undergoes a slightly extended steaming process compared to the standard steaming (普通蒸し茶 – Futsumushicha), which typically lasts around 30-45 seconds. In contrast, Fukamushicha is steamed for about a minute, resulting in a tea that boasts a more pronounced sweetness and body while suppressing excessive astringency.Harashima-sa
