Sencha is more vegetal in taste than traditional Chinese green tea and a cup of sencha contains more nutrients. Sencha can be harvested four times during the year, but the quality decreases each time. The best quality is obtained from the first harvest of the year, because then the plant has stood for a whole winter and gained good properties from the soil.
This sencha is classified as Sencha Superior and is from the first harvest of the year (Ichiban Cha) in Kyoto, Japan.
The leaves can be brewed several times.
