Asamushi-cha (浅蒸し茶)

Lightly-steamed sencha (or some other Japanese Green Tea). Typically, the steaming process for green tea (Futsuumushicha 普通蒸し茶) runs for about 30-45 seconds.

Asamushicha, on the other hand, is steamed for about 30 seconds or even less. As a result, the tea preserves its freshness.
