About Sencha:
Sencha is the most commonly cultivated and consumed type of Japanese tea. The tea plants are not covered and therefore exposed to a lot of sunlight, which gives the tea a lively and clear flavor. Because the leaves traditionally grow in full sunlight, Sencha contains more of the positive nutrient catechin than other green teas, giving the tea leaves a yellowish green color. Nowadays, Sencha leaves are also covered in the last days before harvest to suppress bitterness and astringency.
