Sencha Green Tea
Sencha, the most commonly enjoyed type of green tea, is cultivated under full sunlight until it's harvested. Among the various grades available, first harvest sencha is regarded as the highest quality. It's important to know that high-quality first harvest green tea, typically picked in late April to early May, is available year-round if it's stored properly in deep refrigeration and packaged just before sale.

A unique form of first harvest sencha, known as shincha ("new leaf"), is immediately packaged and sold shortly after harvesting without undergoing cold storage, making it available only for a few months post-harvest. It’s worth noting that nearly all our green teas are from the first harvest and are distinctly different from lower-grade, late-harvest teas like bancha or kukicha, though we also offer a selection of second harvest sencha that are still very flavorful.
At O-Cha.com, all our sencha green tea is freshly packaged within a very short timeframe—usually from one day to two weeks—prior to purchase. This quick turnaround is crucial to ensuring the freshness and quality of any green tea.
