Ingredients
100 % Green tea OGASABrew & Taste
This tea is characterized by a delicate flavor that is at the same time full-bodied, sweet and spicy at the end. A floral aroma and very refreshing effects are typical of high-quality Japanese sencha.
Origins
Sencha is a Japanese classic. How it tastes will depend on where the tea trees from which it is made grow, as well as when the tea leaves are picked. The first harvest is considered the tastiest.
The Shizuoka Prefecture was formed from three former regions of Totomi, Suruga and Izu in 1868. It is an elongated area on the Pacific coast, extending deep into the Japanese mountains. It is bounded by the sea to the east and the sacred Mount Fuji to the north. A full 11% of Shizuoka's land area is covered by natural parks.
The tea gardens are owned by small family-run businesses that take exemplary care of them. The sencha harvest is done in early morning, the leaves then have to be moved to processing as quickly as possible. The processor lets the green leaves wilt in the sun and then steams them repeatedly, briefly but vigorously. This prevents oxidation of the enzymes and seals all the valuable substances inside the tea. Finally, the leaves are shaped into flat needles by special movements, dried, sorted and packaged.
