SENCHA

What is Sencha?

Sencha is one kind of green tea which is a steamed green tea made from small-leaf Camellia sinensis (tea bushes). Sencha is made from leaves that grow under sunlight, this is different from other types of green tea, and makes it a special flavor, a fresh, grassy flavor, perfect for enjoying the summer.

After picking, the processing of sencha green tea starts with a quick steam of the fresh tea leaves, preventing oxidization and locking in the green color and flavor. The leaves are then rolled, shaped, and dried.

How to Brew Sencha Tea?

• Follow these three steps to brew yourself a cup of refreshing sencha tea.Pre-warm your teapot and cups. Sencha is typically brewed in a Kyusu teapot, which has a built-in metal strainer, then poured into small sencha cups. To preheat the teapot and cups, fill each with hot water and let them rest for a few minutes.

• Heat your water and pour it over your tea. Place around five grams of loose leaf sencha tea into your teapot’s metal strainer. Pour the hot water heated to around 158 degrees Fahrenheit over the tea leaves to fill the teapot. If you are brewing sencha in tea bags or sachets instead of a kettle, you can brew the tea in a standard teapot or directly in your mug. Make sure that your sencha tea bags are cotton instead of paper, because paper tea bags will affect its taste.

• Steep your tea. Steep your tea in hot water for around two minutes, which will give your tea a better chance to develop a stronger taste. Top off your tea with a small amount of piping hot water, and enjoy.
