What is First Flush Tea?
Sencha is a classic Japanese tea made by steaming tea leaves grown in sunlight. Among sencha, the first flush made from new buds harvested in early spring are particularly rich in amino acids that give it umami, and relatively little catechin, which causes astringency. That allows you to enjoy a strong umami flavor, sweetness, and a refreshing aroma. The clear yellow-green color of the tea is beautiful, making it a tea that can be enjoyed with all five senses.
