    Sencha is a type of Japanese green tea which is made from leaves that are exposed directly to sunlight during their growing period, unlike some other Japanese green teas, such as matcha or gyokuro.

    The process of making sencha involves steaming the leaves to prevent oxidation, then rolling and drying them, a process which results in a more grassy, vegetal flavor compared to pan-fried green teas.

    In terms of flavor, Sencha has a bright, grassy, and slightly seaweed-like flavor profile.

    It’s often enjoyed as an everyday tea in Japan and can be served both hot or cold.

    Taking that into account, let’s take a look at the best Sencha tea brands of the year.

    When it comes to Sencha tea, we think Ippodo Tea is a good place to start the journey.
