Sencha accounts
for 75% of green tea produced in Japan. It is the most popular and common tea
in Japan and served for daily drinking use.
At the tea garden (open-air tea
field) buds are picked from plants fully exposed to sunlight, then are stemed
and dried as they are kneaded. Sencha has a unique fresh aroma and refined astringency.
Although all Sencha contains caffeine the efficacy of the caffeine in green
tea is mild in the presence of other nutrients and vitamins. Nevertheless it does
revitalize and wake the drinker in a healthy manner. That is why green tea first
came to Japan as a medicine and incidentally there are many Japanese proverbs
that refer to its awakening effect in the morning.

| From
the beginning of spring the Japanese calendar counts 88
days to the harvest of this tea which is called Hachiju-hachiya (88 nights). This
tea from the first harvest contains the very tender buds of the plant. When affused
with hot water it creates a tasty balance of mellow sweetness and light refreshing
astringency.
