  1. Last week, we talked about #Sencha, and today we’re focusing on another green tea: #Bancha.
    The term bancha refers to both a type of #tea and a category. As a type, it’s an unshaded green tea harvested later in the season (second, third, or fourth flush), made from larger, more mature leaves (from the third leaf down). These leaves are processed like Sencha but result in a tea with larger, crushed leaves and a dull green color.

  4. When we talk about #Japanese green #tea, we’re faced with an enormous variety of types. So, what are the different kinds of green tea? Today, let’s talk about #Sencha 煎茶.
    Sencha accounts for 60% of all green tea produced in #Japan. It refers to an unshaded first-flush tea (first harvest), where only the first 2-3 leaves are picked during spring (late April to early May). The processing method for Sencha was codified in 1738 by Nagatani Soen and is still used today.

  5. As the most widely produced tea, Sencha comes in countless varieties of flavors, aromas, and forms, depending on the region, climate, soil, cultivars, and processing style.

    Another type of Sencha is #Shincha 新茶, or "new tea." This is a special tea sold immediately after harvesting and processing (not sealed and refrigerated for year-round sale like regular Sencha). It retains all the freshness and aroma of the young spring leaves.

    So, how to prepare #Sencha?

  8. The first breaths of spring in #Japan are carried by its #teas : each leaf telling a story of tradition, craftsmanship, and the land it comes from.
    We’re thrilled to introduce our new arrivals!

    Hiire #Sencha : a roasted green tea, fragrant and aromatic, perfect for those who love depth in their cup.

    #Kabusecha Okumidori by Sueyoshi Tea: a rare, shade-grown tea from Kagoshima, offering a sweet, umami-rich experience.

    Organic Black & Oolong Teas: bold, complex, and cultivated with care.

  10. Why are the instructions for making so vastly different when comparing to ? According to or sencha supposedly has a brew ratio of ~0.05. On I ordered in the ratio supposedly is ~0.02...

  11. Vous connaissez ma passion pour le thé (japonais) ? Non ? Bah, tant pis, je vais essayer de vous en apprendre plus sur le sujet. D'abord, petit disclaimer : c'est mes lectures sur le Japon et les thés japonais qui m'ont appris des trucs. Je ne parlerai donc pas de thé d'autres pays que je connais beaucoup moins. Ensuite, c'est possible que je dise des bêtises, mes sources étant les internets, l'erreur est possible. Voilà, on y va ? 🔽

  12. Je pense que je vais faire un fil sur les thé japonais, comment ça marche, pourquoi des différences dans les thés alors que c'est la même plante, tout ça, parce qu'à force de tout lire dessus, je connais plein de choses sur le sujet et c'est super intéressant (de mon point de vue de meuf en hyperfocus là-dessus). J'ai même l'astuce ultime pour profiter du thé même quand on a un manque de fer 👀

  14. An all-time favorite indulgence after any trip to #Japan is afternoon #tea à la maison.😋 Today, #Uji #sencha #greentea is served with a traditional autumnal Japanese sweet called kuri kintsuba #栗きんつば which is made up of chestnuts embedded in a rough red bean paste (aka "tsubuan", i.e., not finely sieved thus red bean skins intact). These kintsuba from #Yufuin are our favorites being only subtly sweet, and they have a shelf-life of less than two weeks.😂 #autumn #travel #Kyushu #日本 #大分 #由布院 #九州

  16. #TGIF to fellow #fediversers 🙏 - it's a bright and sunny Friday now in #Bangkok 😊. Sharing an old photo I took on another bright sunny day, in beautiful #Chiran old town of #Kagoshima on #Kyushu, #Japan - this was in the vicinity of old Chiran Samurai Residences #Gardens Street aka Chiran Bukeyashiki #知覧 武家屋敷通り. 😋Tip: "mossy" green chiran-cha is a hedonistic #umami brew. #mastophoto #mosstodon #moss #sencha

  18. 5 cool Japanese drinks that aren’t matcha

    Matcha may have become the poster child for wellness drinks, but it’s far from the only star in Japan’s beverage arsenal. In fact, the global matcha market was valued at a whopping USD 4.3 billion in 2023, and it’s expected to surge to USD 7.43 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR…

  20. Ostin vahingossa puoli kiloa vihreää teetä. Luulin, et ne oli pussitettu valmiiksi kuten edellisessä paketissa oli. Tämä oli kokonaan irtoteetä ja sain todella huokeaan hintaan.Teekaupassa tämä olisi maksanut 4 kertaa enemmän.

    Pääasia et teetä on riittävästi ja se on hyvää. Ja kukkaro kiittää.

  22. Today I'm drinking a kukicha-sencha mix that always makes me smile because, when my friend first ordered it for her tea shoppe, she very kindly asked me to taste it and send her my feedback, so that she could send it back to the producer in Kagoshima (Japan).

    It's a perfect tea for a greyish spring day. #tea #sencha #kukicha #cha #chadoraku

  23. The green tea we know today is all thanks to Nagatani Sōen (永谷宗円 1681-1778), a tea merchant from Yuyadani. Over 15 years he developed new techniques for producing tea leaves, transforming previously crude brown leaves into the flavorful green leaves we know today☕️😓🙌🍵

  27. I made some cold brewed Sencha green tea in the fridge, which I brewed over the course of 48 hours.

    I love, how the tea leaves swirl in the bottle, when agitated.

    The tea has a strong sencha aroma, is slightly sweet and unami and has absolutely no adstringency or bitterness.

    It`s an amazing summer time drink. Now all I need is some summer time weather...

  29. I used to just be a tea-drinker, earl grey, daily, because if it was good enough for my favorite captain, it was good enough for me. Then I got into yerba-maté because a company I worked for partnered with *that* company, and I always end up trying to get to the DIY or trad version of any vice I take on. And then I tried to make coffee for my Starbucks loving ex, but I wasn't able to woo her away from the union-busters, and got myself into coffee instead. Now I'm dabbling with #puer, #oolong, #sencha, and other blitz-brew or #GongFu style teas. I feel like I've got all of my major cultural caffeine bases more or less covered, and all of them work well for me for different vibes.

  30. 370 years ago, Chinese Zen master Yinyuan Longqi, also known as Ingen Ryuki was invited to Japan.
    Master Yinyuan brought lots of Chinese unique cultures and living habits to Japan, and #tea drinking culture is one of them. It is called #sencha in Japan and became very popular among common people. #GLOBALink

  31. #Celtic #FolkloreSunday: King Chonchobar Mac Nessa was able to stop the fight between #Loegaire, #Conall Cernach and #CuChulainn at #Bricriu's banquet. #Sencha the Wise advised to appoint #Medb and #Ailill as arbiters. Only these kings were able to divide the hero's bite in such a way that no new dispute broke out for the time being.

  33. youtube.com/watch?v=fEdy5rChFN one more try. Great interview by with founder of very wide ranging open hardware cosmic desktop. I was amazed at how closely it mapped to the big refactors I've been doing in .

    I realized today that I had actually found while drinking morning (#sencha green for those wondering)

  34. Surprised with a #haiku when I opened the new #tea package today:

    "From the heart
    of the sweet #peony,
    a drunken bee."

  37. 🍵 Shirakawa karigane from Akamon Chaya shop

    Japanese #sencha teas have a special flavor that I can't find anywhere else.
    They remind me of the sea and the pine forests next to the beach.
    This product is one of my favorite. The delicate umami meets sodium mixed to roasted hazelnuts.

    1st 🫖 at 75°C for 30s
    I will be posting pictures from 2nd and 3rd infusions too.

  39. Sadly, UNYTea reports they won't have more of their "Sencha" Japanese green tea until next spring. Put it on the calendar!

  40. UNYTea says about this Sencha, "When many people reach into their stash for sencha it tends to be bold and striking and if im being honest sometimes it’s way too much than im looking for but this sencha has a nice mellow feel that can be brewed many different ways depending on how your feeling." I agree.
