Ingredients
100 % Green tea Japan SENCHA MAKINOHARATea infusion and taste
The light green to yellow-green clear drink tastes delicate, full and spicy. After the first sip, Sencha develops a sweetness. The aroma is reminiscent of flowers, cool and refreshing, astringent only in a hint.
Origin of tea
Makinohara District is located in the south of Shizuoka Province. It is bounded by the Gulf of the Pacific Ocean and increases in hilly landscape towards the interior. It has a mild maritime climate with hot, humid summers and mild winters. Tea gardens tend to be smaller, family-run. Yet green tea production dominates Makinohara's economy. To a lesser extent, people make a living from fishing and the manufacture of automotive components.
Chinese tea trees (Camellia sinensis) are harvested from late April to early October. Women and girls with large baskets on their backs go to the plantations early in the morning. The day's harvest has to be quickly transported to a processor who lets the leaves wilt in the sun and then steams them briefly but vigorously. This stops the natural process of enzyme oxidation. The beautiful green colour, taste and aroma of the tea leaves are preserved. Of course, they will not lose the health-giving substances they contain. In the production of Senchi, the leaves are rolled into flat needles.
This is often done by hand, but larger farms are now turning to machine production. The tea must be dried, sorted and packaged.
