The most commonly enjoyed variety of Japanese green tea is sencha. The freshly-picked tea leaves are steamed and then dried as they are rolled. After the leaves have been shaped, they are blended to achieve the best flavor for the consumer.
In general, sencha is green tinged with yellow and has a well-balanced combination of aroma, Umami and astringency, providing you with feeling of luxury that increases with the grade of green tea.
