Sencha czy matcha – czym się różnią?
Popularna w ostatnim czasie matcha jest herbatą bardzo specyficzną. Powstaje w wyniku specjalnej uprawy — w ostatniej fazie wzrostu krzewów herbacianych poddane są one zacienieniu, przez co produkują większą ilość chlorofilu odpowiedzialnego za intensywnie zielony kolor herbaty. Następnie listki są zbierane, suszone i ścierane na drobny proszek.
Sencha jest japońską liściastą herbatą, zwana jest również królową zielonych herbat. Powstaje ona z najwyżej rosnących i najświeższych listków. Podobnie jak w przypadku matchy, wcześniejszy zbiór oznacza wyższą jakość herbaty. Co ciekawe, senchę też poddaje się zacienieniu w celu uzyskania słodszego smaku herbaty, ale nie poddaje się jej sproszkowaniu.

Sencha is the most popular tea in Japan and it is also the most famous green tea in the world. Its infusion has a mildly sweet and very refreshing flavour, with buttery, grassy notes and green-gold colour. The word „sencha” literally means „brewed over low heat” and it refers to the typical brewing of leaf tea that involves pouring hot water over dry leaves. This tea releases its best flavour when brewed with soft water with low pH. Moya Sencha no. 21 is organically cultivated on the island of Kyushu.Sencha is recommended as a morning drink, since its early-picked leaves have an extremely high level of stimulating caffeine and sencha is known to speed up metabolism.

Sencha – czym się charakteryzuje?
Sencha jest klasyczną zieloną herbatą liściastą, która jest niezwykle bogata w kofeinę, i antyoksydanty. Jest jedną z najczystszych form herbaty — powstaje w wyniku suszenia listków, bez żadnej innej obróbki. Jest bogata w witaminę C, spowalnia proces starzenia się i redukuje stres oksydacyjny. Parzy się ją w około 70-80°C od 1 minuty do 3 minut w zależności od preferencji.
Jej smak jest delikatny, lekko słodki. Zawiera w sobie dużo umami i nut trawiastych. Poprzez wysoką zawartość kofeiny jest idealną herbatą jeśli potrzebujemy skupienia i koncentracji. Po obfitym posiłku wspomoże nasze trawienie.
Gdzie najlepiej sprawdzi się sencha?
Sencha świetnie sprawdzi się jako poranna herbata lub towarzyszka w biurze podczas najbardziej wymagających zadań. Z powodzeniem może zastąpić nam kawę. Dzięki łatwości przygotowania (wymaga jedynie sitka zaparzającego lub torebki) możemy zabrać ją ze sobą w podróż lub do pracy.

Matcha – czym się charakteryzuje?
Proces parzenia matchy wymaga użycia specjalnych narzędzi ponieważ matcha występuje pod postacią sproszkowanych listków, które zaparza się w całości przy użyciu specjalnych akcesoriów do matchy — czarki zwanej matchawanem, mieszadła chasen, łyżeczki do odmierzania chashaku i sitka. Temperatura parzenia matchy powinna oscylować w granicach około 60-80°C. Około 2 gramy proszku zalewamy 40 gramami wody i roztrzepujemy mieszadłem Chasen, zamiatając w kształt litery M.
Dzięki temu, że pijemy całe listki możemy cieszyć się nie tylko ich pełnym smakiem, ale też jej prozdrowotnymi właściwościami. Matcha to taka sencha na sterydach — jedna filiżanka patrzy daje nam tyle co wypicie około trzech filiżanek zwykłej herbaty.
Moya Matcha Chasen - Chasen Matcha Whisk
Traditional bamboo whisk or “chasen” is an indispensable tool of the Japanese matcha tea ceremony. The fine, handmade prongs are carved out in a single piece of bamboo. When using a chasen to whisk matcha it is best to keep a loose and relaxed wrist and make rapid zigzag motions in the shape of letter “W” or “M” – this helps to give matcha the ideal frothy texture.Tips for whipping up matcha:The traditional way to prepare matcha comes from the Japanese Tea Ceremony. It involves using a matcha bowl, a bamboo whisk- chasen and a bamboo spoon- chashaku. Place 2 chashaku spoons of matcha (1,5g) in a matcha bowl and pour 100ml of hot water (80 °C). Chasen in hand, vigorously whisk your matcha from the wrist in m-shaped, not circular, motion. In about 20 seconds your bowl should be filled with a perfect jade-green foam. You can add more water now if you like your matcha to be less strong.MATERIAL: light bamboo seasoned woodPRONGS: 100Not dishwasher safe.After use best to dry on dedicated chasen holder (sold seperately). Do not place a wet chasen in the carton container or any other closed container.
Moya Matcha Chashaku - Chashaku Matcha Spoon

The curved portion of the spoon is used to scoop a small portion of matcha tea and place in a bowl (matchawan). The mixture is then whisked to uniform consistency using a bamboo whisk (chasen). The amount of matcha served depends on individual preference.Traditionally, thin tea or “usucha” is prepared with 1 chashaku of matcha (one teaspoon) and approximately 75-100ml of hot water. This proportion is perfect for creating ideal frothy texture on the surface of matcha.Koicha, or thick tea, is made using significantly more matcha 4-6 chashaku portions (4-6 teaspoons) in 150ml of hot water. The resulting matcha is much denser and sweeter. Whisking it is more difficult and this method does not produce the characteristic foam. It is served almost exclusively as part of the Japanese tea ceremonyMATERIAL: bambooLENGHT: 18 cmNot dishwasher safe.
