The initial steaming step imparts a difference in the flavor between Chinese and Japanese green tea, with Japanese green tea having a more vegetal, almost grassy flavor (some taste seaweed-like flavors). Infusions from sencha and other green teas that are steamed (like most common Japanese green teas) are also greener in color and slightly more bitter than Chinese-style green teas.

Sencha is very popular in Japan, and is drunk hot in the cooler months and usually chilled in the summer months.
