Green tea Sencha has the typical herbaceous aroma and a delicious taste.

It represents the most widespread and consumed green tea in Japan and is the tea of the first spring harvest, which in Japanese is called Shincha.

Sencha green tea is called the “tea of guests“.

Advice Sencha green tea can be consumed both in the morning and in the afternoon and pairs well with meals. 

Pairings It lends itself to countless pairings with food: fish and white meats (cooked simply and lightly, grilled or on a griddle), legumes, steamed vegetables, and sushi. Additionally, it can be used as an ingredient to flavor broths based on fish or vegetables, or in cooking it can be used as a spice. 

 Preparation Boil the water and let it cool down to 70° - 80° C (approximately, wait 3 to 5 minutes after boiling). The water temperature is a crucial factor because it greatly affects the taste of the tea: too long an infusion time would result in a taste that is too bitter. Use 4 grams of tea for 200 ml of water. Let it infuse for 60 seconds and pour into cups. It is possible to use the leaves 3-4 more times for subsequent infusions (for each subsequent infusion, the water temperature should be higher and the infusion time about 1/4 shorter).
