Sencha

Sencha is one of the most known green tea varieties. Originally drunken by buddhistic monchs as a medicine or spiritualisation, sencha represents a source of inspiration, concentration and vitality today. Sencha means boiled tea. Sen = boil and Cha = tea. Characteristical for this tea is its long, folded leaf. During the processing, while the tea is dried on warm mats, it is folded or polished by hand. After the infusion, the full leaf structure can be seen again. The Sencha production is an often applied production method in China and Japan.
