Detail

Sencha tea is a traditional green tea with tightly rolled, needle-shaped leaves. It was picked in early spring after the leaves have developed their balance of sweetness and astringency. There are many grades of Sencha tea - from budget priced grades to a very fine grade called Tencha ( Macha is produced from this tea). With different processing methods and grades of tea leaves Sencha's flavor and aroma will vary. Even budget priced Senchas have a pleasant flavor and aroma since all of green teas are steamed ( not pan fired) to preserve its natural flavor.It goes well with seafood and is brilliant with chocolate.
