Sencha
Japanese green tea / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Irish mythological character, see Sencha mac Ailella. For the mobile user interface, see Sencha Touch.
Sencha (煎茶, lit. 'infused tea') is a type of Japanese ryokucha (緑茶, green tea) which is prepared by infusing the processed whole tea leaves in hot water. This is as opposed to matcha (抹茶), powdered Japanese green tea, where the green tea powder is mixed with hot water and therefore the leaf itself is included in the beverage. Sencha is the most popular tea in Japan.
