Sencha is one of the best-known types of green tea. Originally consumed by Buddhist monks, it is today considered a source of inspiration. Sencha means "steamed tea": Sen = steam, Cha = tea. Firstly, the tea leaves are folded lengthwise while drying on warm trays, and then they are heated in wood-fuelled pans in order to produce the characteristic shape. After the infusion, the full leaf structure can be seen, and the cup has a bright yellow colour. The fresh, grassy flavour and fine tartness are a pleasure for every Sencha enthusiast!
