Sencha means "steamed tea". This tea is carefully processed and slightly steamed before rolling and drying. The leaf thus obtains a very fine and fragile structure. The infusion has a shimmering, light olive-green color. The taste is distinct with a dominant note in the aftertaste and ideal for those who like strong green teas.

Hyson tea is harvested just before the rainy season. It is made from mature as well as young leaves. However, the tea made from younger shoots is believed to be of higher quality.

Drinking hyson green tea regularly can also help to quicken metabolic rate and burn fat faster when exercising. Although "hyson" translates to "flourishing spring", this tea can be enjoyed all year round.
