In China and Japan alike, Sencha means something like steamed tea. During the drying process, the tea leaves are brought into a longish form before they are heated in large pans in order to stop the fermentation. The infusion has a fresh and grassy scent, the flavour is aromatic and slightly tart - a must-have for any green tea fan!
