Green Tea: Sencha
Sencha, also sometimes called honcha, is a Japanese style of green tea that is widespread and well-known not only in Japan, but worldwide. It is the variety of Japanese green tea that is most commonly available in the United States. Sencha is widely produced not only in Japan but in China and other countries as well.
Brewed sencha has a more intense green color than most green teas. The tea has a bold, sharp flavor and an aroma which is often described as grassy and vegetal, sometimes even seaweed-like.
Sencha is produced by steaming the leaves before drying, and then firing them afterwards, in contrast to teas which are pan-fired before drying. The characters for sencha (煎茶) literally translate as "pan-fired tea", which can be confusing because the term "pan-fired" usually refers to green teas (including many Chinese varieties) which are pan-fired before drying, at the stage at which sencha is steamed.
