There are several different types of sencha green tea, differentiated by when they are harvested, how they are processed, where they are grown, and more.
Japanese sencha is the most versatile tea in the world and tends to have a refreshing flavour that can be described as vegetal, green, or grassy. Flavours vary with different types of sencha.
