Japan’s most popular tea is available in a wide range of quality classes. Excellent Sencha teas are almost the same quality and price as Kabusecha or sometimes even as Gyokuro. Standard Sencha teas in the low quality segment may however even greatly resemble a Bancha in terms of variety and taste.
As a rule of thumb: the more dark green and fine the tealeaves and the more intense the aroma, the better the tea. In this case, too, the tea from the first harvest is also the tea with the highest quality. The golden color of the beverage and the fresh scent is characteristic of high-grade Sencha. It combines a slightly “bitter” taste with a delicate floweriness, is aromatic and tangy. Sencha is particularly popular with women at Japanese teatime.
Preparation of high-grade Sencha: 12 g tealeaves (5 tsp), one litre water, 80°C, two minutes
Preparation of standard Sencha: 12 g tealeaves (5 tsp), one litre water, 90°C, one minute
Harvest: Can be produced in all harvest periods. Most standard Sencha teas are harvested in summer, 2nd harverst (June) and 3rd harvest (July).
