Brew Guide - Sencha

Sencha comes in many varieties, but producing quality sencha is a finer job.

The leaves are steamed and dried in several stages , which produces the sweet round seaweed taste. Finally, the leaves are sorted by hand, where twigs and coarse leaves are removed. What characterizes a fine quality sencha is a dark green fine leaf.
