We've Closed Our Discord

July 01, 2025

Horse Browser has grown to nearly 2,000 users, and we're grateful for every one of you. But here's the reality: we're just two people (Pascal and Eleanor), and managing a Discord while building the browser became unsustainable. Important feedback was getting lost in the chat stream.


So we're building The Outpost, a proper forum where your ideas and feedback can be organized, voted on, and actually acted upon. It's designed specifically for the Horse Browser community to help shape the product together.

The Outpost

With The Outpost, your feedback won't disappear into the void. You'll be able to submit bugs, request features, and vote on what matters most. We'll have a clear view of what the community needs, and you'll be able to track progress on the things you care about.

Why Close Discord Now?

We'd already built comprehensive support tools: a detailed manual and an AI support bot trained on our entire documentation. But naturally, everyone preferred the immediacy of Discord. We understand why, but it meant we were spending more time in chat than improving Horse Browser for you.

Nothing Was Lost

Don't worry, we saved everything. Every bug report, every feature request, every thoughtful suggestion. When The Outpost launches, all your contributions will be there, properly organized and searchable. Nothing was lost in the transition.

When

The Outpost is coming soon. We'll announce it through our mailing list when it's ready. In the meantime, our support channels are here to help with any questions or issues.


Thank you for understanding and for being part of this journey with us.


Yours on the trails,
Pascal and Eleanor

Sencha tea leaves and brewed tea

Sencha tea leaves and brewed tea

Sencha (煎茶) is a type of Japanese ryokucha (緑茶, green tea) which is prepared by infusing the processed whole tea leaves in hot water. This is as opposed to matcha (抹茶), powdered Japanese green tea, where the green tea powder is mixed with hot water and therefore the leaf itself is included in the beverage. Sencha is the most popular tea in Japan.
Types of sencha

The types of sencha are distinguished by when they are harvested. Shincha (新茶, "new tea") represents the first month's harvest of sencha. Basically, it's the same as ichibancha (一番茶, "first tea"), which is the first harvest of the year.

Kabusecha (かぶせ茶) is sencha grown in the shade for about a week before harvest. Asamushi (浅蒸し) is lightly steamed sencha, while fukamushi (深蒸し) is deeply steamed sencha.

Production

Sencha tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. The leaves are steamed, rolled, and dried immediately after harvest to prevent oxidation. This process preserves the fresh, grassy flavor that sencha is known for.

The steaming process used in making sencha is what differentiates it from Chinese green teas, which are typically pan-fired. The duration of the steaming process affects the final taste and color of the tea.

Brewing

Sencha is typically brewed at lower temperatures than black tea or oolong tea. The ideal water temperature is usually between 60–80°C (140–176°F), with brewing time ranging from 1 to 2 minutes.

The tea can be brewed multiple times, with each infusion revealing different flavor notes. The first brew tends to be more astringent and fresh, while subsequent brews become milder and sweeter.
