Sencha is a natural leaf tea, meaning that the leaves are un-rolled. Unlike Matcha and Gyokuro, Sencha is grown in full sunlight, and accounts for the largest portion of Japan's tea production. Once picked, the leaves are rushed to the factory for a quick steaming, which seals in the flavor and stops fermentation. This is a key difference between Chinese and Japanese green tea-making processes. The leaves are then fluffed with hot air before pressing. The moisture content for Sencha is only 3%.
