Sencha is the most common and popular variety of green tea in Japan. The fresh leaves are steamed immediately after harvest without any withering. This preserves the tea's fresh, v ivacious green quality and bright, chlorophyll rich color. Since it is not shade grown, Sencha has a bright green-gold color and is not as sweet as Gyokuro. The flavor is also more assertive (usually described as brisk, or astringent), with a bright, grassy aroma. Show more
