Sencha green tea is a deep green or Jade color tea with an amazing smell especially when you just steep it for brewing.

Sencha Yabukita (70% of Sencha in Japan is Yabukita style) and can have notes of juicy green apple and guava or completely grassy (different Senchas from Japan will have different  smell and notes depending on the  region and soil). The flavor can be grassy, floral, umami, or all at once if sencha from different regions are blended. Yutakamidori is the second largest cultivar after Yabukita. Yutakamidori is from Makurazaki,Kagoshima, Japan.

Cultivated and grown in shading process called Kabuscicha to retain higher levels of chlorophyll, caffeine and L-theanine. In the final days before harvest the tea leaves are exposed to sunlight to increase the level of catechins. Good quality of sencha will drop and roll down in the form of needles of somewhat similar size after completing the processing. If the size is broken into smaller/boken pieces,it doesnt in any way mean a lower quality.

 Japan Sencha Yabukita Green Tea, is made from green tea leaves that are cultivated in direct sunlight, and are harvested in the first or second flush (tea leaves of the first harvest have the best quality). Yabukita is a green tea cultivar originally crossed in Abe, Shizuoka, its parents being seedlings of Shizuoka perfecture.,

Brewing  of Japan Sencha Yabukita Green tea - Western Style .

1. Half a level or heaped teaspoon per cup depending on the stregth of tea you like.

2. Infuse for 2 minutes (according to taste) with freshly boiled water that is around 180F or 80C (You may brew for up to 3 minutes till you find which variables suit your taste).

3. You can reinfuse/reuse it 3-4 times.

4. Japan Sencha Yabukita Green tea is NOT compatible with milk. 

Note1: You can use the Sencha leaves 2-3 times and get different colors, taste notes, strengths and flavors. The first brew is likely to be the sweetest or more savory. If you go beyond the third brew, you should increase the temperature. It is experienced that the first three steeps give the most value of L-theanine, Catechins and Caffeine. The fourth or fifth steep will tend to be more dry, astringent,stronger or even  bitter.

Note 2: For Gong fu style Brewing see “Brewing Guides” under menu item – Community.

Steeping at a lower temperature will not release antioxidants, catechins, and caffeine, but will release L-theanine. At the same time, you would want to enjoy quicker, the cooler brew before some valuable amino acids evaporate into the air.

 Other better known Sencha, are the Sencha Yame Saemidori  from Saemidori cultivar that is broken into smaller needles than the Yabutika. Saemidori is essentially the first cut baby greens of light color harvested first time in April each year.
