{"type":"firestarter.listing","listing":{"id":"lst_L0tse-AG","product_name":"Green Sencha","category":"Green Tea","description":"The everyday tea that built Japanese tea culture.\nSencha is the baseline green tea of Japan, the tea drunk in homes and offices across the country every day. This organic version follows the traditional steaming method: leaves plucked in spring or early summer, steamed within hours of harvest to stop oxidation, then rolled and dried. The result is a bright, vegetal cup with a savory umami depth that reads as brothy without being heavy. Needle-shaped leaves that unfurl when they hit water. A clear, emerald-green liquor. The cup that explains what green tea is supposed to taste like.\n\nWhy steaming, not firing.\nMost green teas get pan-fired to stop oxidation, which gives the leaf a toasted, nutty character. Japanese Sencha gets steamed instead. The steam stops oxidation just as effectively but preserves the chlorophyll and the fresh, vegetal compounds that define the Japanese green tea profile. The difference is immediate: a steamed tea tastes green and alive. A pan-fired tea tastes warm and roasted. Both are green tea. The methods produce entirely different cups.\n\nThe water temperature matters more than the steep time.\nBoiling water scorches the leaf and extracts bitter tannins. Water at 175°F extracts the amino acids, the natural sweetness, and the umami compounds without pulling the astringency. Let the kettle cool for 5 minutes after it boils. Pour. Steep 2 minutes. The cup will taste grassy, sweet, and brothy instead of bitter and sharp.","images":["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0806/0862/4962/files/green-sencha-loose-tea-ybtco.webp?v=1779851323","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0806/0862/4962/files/green-sencha-brewed-tea-ybtco.webp?v=1779851318","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0806/0862/4962/files/green-sencha-tin-tea-ybtco.webp?v=1779851316"],"price":24,"currency":"USD","in_stock":true,"inventory_qty":19998,"dynamic_pricing":false,"listed_at":"2026-06-18T20:46:17.005Z"},"share_url":"https://firestarter.network/l/lst_L0tse-AG","purchase":{"summary":"Live product listing on the Firestarter agent commerce network.
