Sencha green tea is a famous green tea that is made from top parts of the tea leaf as well as the tea buds. The green tea leaves and tea buds are processed as a whole. Moreover, the leaves of this tea are steamed for about 30 second to stop the oxidation. Then, the whole leaves are rolled into long cylinders before they are dried.

Brewing tips:

Classic: 2 to 3 grams, 200 mills of water at around 70 C degrees, 1.5 to 3 minutes depend on preferences. Higher temperature (up to 85 C degrees) equal more astringent taste. 

Subsequent: 5 to 6 grams of tea, 80 to 100 mills 75 C degrees water, first brewing up to 30 second and each next longer about 20 second or even less. Leaves will infuse liquid  with each brewing with different layers of taste. We recommend up to 5 repetitions.

The tea can be brewed very differently and there are many combinations that yield interesting results, but it is important to remember not brew it using too high temperature of water. It will get out the sweetness and aroma of the tea without any bitterness. Do not exceed  80 C degrees.
