Sencha is one of the best known types of green tea. Originally consumed by Buddhist monks for spiritual balance, it is today considered a source of inspiration and vitality. Sencha means boiled tea: Sen = boil, Cha = tea. Firstly the tea leaves are folded lengthwise while drying on warm trays, then they are heated in wood-fueled pans in order to stop the fermentation. The leaf shape is immediately recognisable in this quality tea. The cup has a bright yellow color and it's fresh, grasslike flavor with a fine sweetness is a pleasure for each Sencha enthusiast!
