| Sencha
accounts for 75% of green tea produced in Japan. It is the most popular and common
tea in Japan and served for daily drinking use.
At the tea garden (open-air
tea field) buds are picked from plants fully exposed to sunlight, then are stemed
and dried as they are kneaded. Sencha has a unique fresh aroma and refined astringency.
Although all Sencha contains caffeine the efficacy of the caffeine in green
tea is mild in the presence of other nutrients and vitamins. Nevertheless it does
revitalize and wake the drinker in a healthy manner. That is why green tea first
came to Japan as a medicine and incidentally there are many Japanese proverbs
that refer to its awakening effect in the morning.

the beginning of spring the Japanese calendar counts 88days to the harvest of
this tea which is called Hachiju-hachiya (88nights). This is tea from the first
harvest and contains the very tender buds of the plant. When affused with hot
water it creates a tasty balance of mellow sweetness and light refreshing astringency.
