#sencha — Public Fediverse posts

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

#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.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=fEdy5rChFNg&si=PiGsgt5rXnjO9D9W one more try. Great interview by #techovertea with founder of #system76 very wide ranging open hardware cosmic desktop. I was amazed at how closely it mapped to the big refactors I've been doing in #inxi.

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

Inspiriert von @Cedara : erstmal Tee #tee #sencha #suchtpotential

#MythologyMonday: It would be great if ancient #Celtic druids, like #Tlachtga, #Biróg, #Bodhmall, #Fedelma, #Amairgin, #Mogh Ruith, #Mide, #Delbáeth, #Coran, #Finegas, #Ferdia, #Cathbad, #Sencha, #Drostan & #Broichan would help us make the moneyed aristocracy give up their power.
