Japanese Food Tips

Sencha is Japanese green tea, and is characterized by steaming the tea leaves, unlike other green teas. The first Japanese tea picking takes place in early May. By the way, green tea and black tea are the same tea leaves, depending on the degree of fermentation. Green tea has a low degree of fermentation, and black tea has a high degree of fermentation. Sencha can be drunk either hot or iced, and has a refreshing taste with just the right astringency and refreshing aroma. Sencha is steamed because it stops the activity of oxidizing enzymes, removes the leafy taste of the fresh leaves, and softens the leaves. Sencha is sold in leaf, powder and tea packs, and is also sold in ready-to-drink plastic bottles. The plastic bottle tea is sold by many beverage manufacturers, including a famous cola manufacturer. Cold bottled tea is sold year-round, but hot tea only during the cold seasons. How about comparing sencha with other green teas, and you may find something new?
