The tea leaves of sencha green tea are cultivated in an open-air tea farm and it is grown under the sunlight directly. Sencha Green Tea is a representative of Japanese green tea, accounting for about 70% of the total distribution volume. The tea leaves grow thick by absorbing plenty of sunlight, so the tea leaves are thick with a deep green color and a deep rich aroma. 1. Tea Picking In general, hand-picked sencha has 2-3 leaves per core, and mechanically-picked sencha has 4-5 leaves per core. Freshly plucked fresh leaves are still alive and breathing, so they generate heat. 2. Fanning And Humidifying If the freshly picked leaves are left as they are, they immediately begin to ferment and heat up. To prevent loss of quality and maintain freshness, the raw leaves are fanned with damp air to help maintain their moisture and dissipate the heat given off by the fresh leaves. 3. Steaming To halt the oxidizing and fermentation action of enzymes on the leaves, preserve their green color and remove the "grassy" odor, the tea leaves are steamed using non-pressurized steam. The length of the steaming process is said to be a key determinant in the tea's flavor, aroma and color. The steaming process has a significant effect on the sencha's color and quality. How to Enjoy Japanese Sencha Green Tea (For 3 servings) 1) Divide 180cc of boiled water into three cups and cool to 70-80°C. (Water temperatures cools 5-10°C each time when moved to a different vessel. 2) Add 2 tablespoons of tea leaves (About 10g) to the tea pot. 3) Pour the water (70-80°C) into the teapot. 4) Wait for the tea to brew. The tea leaves will turn soft and light green. It will be ready in 45 seconds to 1 minute. 5) Put the tea little by little into each cup so that the flavor of the tea will be even.

[Note to Brew Good Tea] ・Use Soft Water and boil it in a kettle, allowing it to sit for 3-5 minutes to remove any chlorine smell. ・Using lower temperature water can bring out more amino acid (Umami Taste), which makes tea tastes better and prevents the tea from becoming too astringent or bitter. ・It is hard to regulate the amount of tea needed to fit everyone’s taste, so try several times to find your own perfect amount. ・The lower the water temperature, the longer the tea takes to brew and turn light green.
