Sencha is the tea most consumed by Japanese people.
The fresh tea leaves are steamed to prevent oxidation, then kneaded and dried while being formed into shape.
Good Sencha is meant to have a balance of sweet, astringent, bitter, and savory flavors with a refreshing fragrance.
Different regions steam and roast the tea leaves for different amounts of time, which creates a variety of tastes and aromas.
